Our policy, and the policy at 2 other institutions that I've worked at, is a
mirror of what Richard Cartun stated. We don't release soft tissues to
anything but a funeral home.

Subject: [Histonet] release of body parts
Hello-
We are seeing a bit more of patients that are requesting to take their body
parts with them (uterus, POC, etc); I am talking home - not the funeral home.
Are you using a release of body parts form to fill out with the patient?
Are you draining off the formalin, or sending in formalin with parafilm around
the lid?
Thank you for your thoughts,
