After consulting with the applicant, an information booklet and consent form will be mailed to their home. Once the applicant and family members complete the consent form and send it along with the required documents to the General Affairs Team of the College of Medicine, the documents will be reviewed and a donor registration card will be mailed to the applicant’s home.

The donor completes it. Each family member must also provide their own handwritten consent.

First, you must prove that you have no children by submitting a detailed family register. Then, a younger blood relative must also provide written consent. (Required documents: one copy of the applicant’s detailed family register, one copy of a sibling’s detailed family register.)

There is no age limit. Anyone can register.

Yes. Even if they live abroad, handwritten consent and formal confirmation on the documents are still required.

No. Anyone can donate regardless of religion.

It means agreeing to have part or all of the body preserved as a specimen for permanent preservation. This is done only in a limited number of cases where there is high medical research value.

The funeral (typically a three-day ceremony) must be carried out by the family (legal heirs). Once you inform us of the funeral home and the time of departure, the body will be transferred to the Catholic University College of Medicine at that time. The funeral must be held at a facility with a morgue, and all expenses related to the funeral (such as morgue and visitation room fees) are the responsibility of the family. A coffin, burial clothes, and embalming are not required, but they may be used if needed for religious rites or if the family wishes.
