Are you of Aboriginal or Torres Strait islander origin? Yes No Prefer not to say
It is my wish that my remains, after death, be made available to the Discipline of Anatomy and Pathology at James Cook
University to be used in whatsoever way may be deemed most beneficial for the purposes of anatomical examination
or in the study, research, and teaching (including digital resources) of anatomy.
I consent to my remains being retained indefinitely. I understand that I will be cremated and my ashes will be (please
tick one box only):
Returned to the next of kin. In the event that my NOK is uncontactable, my ashes are to be scattered at the
memorial garden at Woongarra Crematorium.
I have discussed this decision with my next of kin. I understand that circumstances may make it impossible for the
University to accept my offer.

Next of Kin
The next of kin is responsible for contacting the Human Bequest Coordinator at the time of death.
We recommend they be a spouse, relative, friend, neighbour etc. Generally, a solicitor or Public
Trustee is not suitable as they are unlikely to notify JCU in a reasonable time.
I/We the undersigned SENIOR NEXT OF KIN of the above, have NO objection to his/her wishes
as stated above. I have read through the Information form and understand how the Body Donation
Program works. I am aware that circumstances may make it impossible for the University to
accept the donation at time of death and I acknowledge that alternative arrangements may need to
be made by the Donor’s family.

A Thanksgiving Service is held regularly and relatives of those who have donated their bodies to

(Address continued)
The late
(name of Deceased Donor)
From:_________________________________________________________________
(to be completed at time of death)
To: Discipline of Anatomy, College of Medicine & Dentistry, James Cook University, Townsville.
Please have your next of kin (NOK) complete this ‘Authority to Release’ form (leaving the ‘from’
section BLANK). We require this form to be on file with the consent form at the time of registration
as this is often difficult for the next of kin to complete at the time of the donor’s passing, and is
required for transfer.
