What happens if a person who wants to donate his or her body dies away from Cleveland?
If death occurs outside a 75-mile radius from Cleveland Clinic, at 9500 Euclid Avenue, there are two options. First, Cleveland Clinic will assist the donor’s family in making arrangements to have the remains donated to the closest medical school. Second, if the donor’s family still wants the remains to be donated to Cleveland Clinic, the estate of the deceased or the donor’s family will be responsible for all transportation costs.
