It is a well-known fact in our family that any useful part of us will be donated ... no sense taking the good stuff with us and wasting it. Whatever is left will rest at Hollywood Cemetery.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-16222387598947912292015-04-25T19:47:12.287-04:002015-04-25T19:47:12.287-04:00Oh, Connie!

I wonder if there was any way you could contact them and find out. Normally I would think that was impossible but your story reminds me of this story I read a few weeks ago about a mother's infant son who passed. She donated his body and then later on was able to follow up to see what a difference he made to the world.

Thank you!!<br /><br />The part about the ashes of those who donated their bodies hit home for me. My grandmother willed her earthly body to a medical school. She was cremated afterward, we don't know when, and scattered somewhere we don't know. Makes me feel incomplete, not having a place where I know that she rests.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.com
