The IIAM Virtual Memorial
The IIAM Virtual Donor Memorial is a Flash memorial created to honor those who have donated their gifts to research and medical education through IIAM. It is with awe, solemnity, admiration and gratitude that we view the pictures, read the stories, and pay tribute to these donors. Please share in the memory of their gifts with us.

Donor Memorial
The Donor Memorial was established in 2003 at IIAM headquarters to recognize research donors as individuals for their gift that will help save and improve lives. The Donor Memorial contains beloved objects, photos, letters and poems submitted by donor families. Displayed together, these items form a permanent and very personal memorial to their loved ones.

Greenwood Cemetery
IIAM maintains a burial plot at the Greenwood Cemetery in Allentown, Pa., where the cremated remains of donors are buried. A simple stone marks that spot and an annual ceremony there during National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Month honors all donors. Most families request the return of cremains when a loved one donates his or her body for medical research and education. For those who don't, IIAM provides interment at Greenwood Cemetery at a site dedicated as a permanent memorial to all donors.
"In honor and memory of all donors who have helped mankind through
transplantation and medical research."

"I will cherish all the friendships I was fortunate to find. All love and all the laughter in the place I leave behind. All these good things will go with me. They will make my spirit glow. And that light will shine forever in the next place that I go."
Excerpt from "The Next Place" Written and illustrated by Warren Hanson Given to IIAM donor families to honor the memories of their loved ones
