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.
