Yes, you can donate your organs and choose human composting.
Organ donation is only possible if someone dies in a hospital because they need specific equipment to keep the organs viable until the donation company arrives. Medical professionals remove organs within a few days after someone dies.
Our Services team will coordinate transportation to Recompose with the hospital. If you live outside Washington State, the local funeral home you’re working with will coordinate with the hospital.
Alternatively, full-body donations to medical schools and research projects usually embalm bodies to extend the time they can be studied. Embalmed bodies cannot undergo human composting. Some programs freeze the donor for non-embalmed use. So we encourage you to contact the donation program to understand their process and whether it is possible to donate your full body without embalming.
