For the Family

There are two types of Memorial Services held by the University and the Anatomical Gift Program: Interment Memorial Programs and Student Memorial Service.

This program, organized and run by the students, occurs at the conclusion of the Fall Gross Anatomy Course. Medical and Dental Students conduct a service during which they remember those generous individuals from whom they have spent a semester learning. The students use poetry, prose and song to express both their appreciation for the knowledge they have gained from individual donors and how deeply the experience has changed their lives.

The Skinnerville Cemetery and Newman Chapel is the site of the Memorial Service and final resting for those who chose  to be interred in the University Cemetary Plots.
