In Missouri a registered adult donor's decision is legally binding — under RSMo 194.240 the family cannot override it, which is exactly why registering ahead spares them the choice. Registration can be changed or withdrawn at any time.
Organ and tissue donation coordination — registering in advance makes the choice yours, and we honor it precisely.
AT A GLANCE
Federal law requires the hospital to notify the organ procurement organization of every death. The OPO checks the donor registry and speaks with the family — the funeral home is not part of that step. Eastern and southern Missouri are served by Mid-America Transplant; western Missouri by Midwest Transplant Network.
DETAILS
Donation costs the family and the estate nothing — recovery costs are covered by the recovery agency. It does not prevent an open casket: the body is reconstructed after recovery, and donation does not delay funeral arrangements. Call for current hours and availability.
PRICING
Pricing can vary by service and timing. Ask this provider for the current cost and scope before you commit.
