Whole Body Donation Program in Arizona

How Whole Body Donation Works

SWIBA is based in Tucson and serves families across Arizona, including the Phoenix metro area. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whether you are planning ahead or a loved one has just passed away.

At SWIBA, we are committed to empowering individuals to make a lasting impact on the future of medicine. By choosing whole body donation, you have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking medical research, education, and surgical training that advances healthcare for generations to come.

Whole body donations for medical education, training, and research play a vital role in improving the lives of both current and future generations. Donors that do not meet the stringent criteria required for transplants can usually meet SWIBA’s requirements for medical education and research. There are no maximum age restrictions, and most non-infectious diseases are accepted.

Why Donating Your Body Matters

Each of us can play a vital role in advancing medicine by spreading awareness of whole body donations. Be a part of the never-ending legacy of saving lives, advancing medical research and education, and improving the quality of life for people today and generations to come!

There is no cost to the donor or their family for SWIBA’s program. SWIBA pays for cremation at a SWIBA-approved funeral home or crematory, transportation within the state of Arizona, filing of all necessary paperwork and shipping of cremains to the family.
