Brings back vivid memories of when I worked as a secretary at the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Medicine in the Anatomy Dept. in the 1950/60s. Every spring we had burial services for all the cadavers used through the winter, going to up to 3 or 4 cemeteries with pastors/priests from the different religions represented by the deceased people. All students and staff, including University admin attended; also families were invited. Good way to honor those who continued to serve even after their death. (My husband, Glen Koop, attended EMS in the early 70s.)

This is an astonishing response to cadaver dissection, where bodies are more often treated with gallows humor. I think that using them for a year then cremation and restoring the ashes to family adds some complications and expense, no doubt, but what a testimony to the human spirit. Bravo! Anne
