Please consider and talk it over with your family the
live saving gift of life. Organ donation can mean the difference between life and death for so many on the waiting list. I was most fortunate enough to have a life saving lung transplant in 1998 and I shall ever be grateful to the family of my donor who I most probably will never meet.

The way I see it is you can't use your organs once your dead and so you may as well donate them. Maybe if the funeral costs were covered for the deceased, more people may consider this option.
