If you know that the person who has died wanted to leave his or her body for medical research, look for the relevant consent form.
The form may be stored with the person's important papers or with the Will and will have details of the relevant research institution, contact it and follow the procedure it recommends.
The person who has died may have donated their organs for transplant.
Donated organs must be removed within 48 hours of the death and donors normally make their request by signing the NHS Organ Donor Register.
Speak to the doctor who is looking after the person at the time of death about this.
