Lillian Bentley donated her body to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
-----------------------
The Body Donation Program at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is an important community service that allows an individual to make a lasting and meaningful contribution to medical science.
Upon completion of medical studies, which is usually one to four years after we have received the body, the bodies are individually cremated and one of the two options is followed: First, the ashes can be returned to the family or to a location selected by the family for final interment.
In order to respect the privacy and anonymity requested by some individuals, the names of donors do not appear at the gravesite. However, to honor the individuals who have made this important contribution to medical science, the name of each donor is recorded in a book located in the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions, located in the College of Medicine.
Spring Grove Cemetery also maintains a record of donors buried at this gravesite.
The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine annually hosts a memorial service to pay homage to those individuals who have donated their bodies to ensure the excellence of medical education and the advancement of medical science and have chosen to be buried in our plot at Spring Grove.
This service is conducted by representatives of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and various clergy. The cremains of donors are to be buried in a plot at Spring Grove Cemetery, which is identified by a monument with the inscription, "Through Their Thoughtfulness Knowledge Grows."
According to Bruce Giffin, PhD, director of the Body Donation Program, "The thoughtfulness of donors gives students an important educational experience that is critical in their training. It also provides physicians and the research scientists the opportunity to gain knowledge which may prolong or improve someone's life."
The memorial service also serves as a way to publicly thank the families and friends of donors. These individuals are invited to attend the memorial service and may join the procession to the monument site after the service.
