Memorial Service
Once a year, in the fall, a non-denominational memorial service is held to honor the individuals whose bodies were generously donated for study at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.
When: Friday, November 13, 2026 at 1:00 pm.
Where: The Natalie and Lansing B. Lee, Jr. Auditorium, Augusta University Health Sciences Campus.
The memorial service is conducted jointly by the students, faculty, and chaplains from the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Allied Health, Graduate Studies, Nursing and the Augusta University/Georgia Southern Medical Partnership with the donors’ families and friends as our honored guests.
The Memorial Service provides an opportunity for the students to honor and show their appreciation to the donors for making their bodies available for study and research. It is only through the physical study of the human body that we can gain the basic information essential to the education of future health care professionals.
Memorial Service to Honor Body Donors
Let them rest in peace, may they forever walk in light.
