We often discuss our future plans and talk as though we'll all live forever, and making funeral plans can almost feel like giving in. It is important to contemplate your own mortality. Not only is it reality, but it truly isn't the end—not if you consider the effect you can have even after you're gone. Planning for the inevitable can also mean saving a life. Serving the Trumbull, CT, Abriola Parkview Funeral Home wants to remind you that becoming an organ donor is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.

  • Your One Donation Can Save More Than 50 People: Just one organ can save eight lives, while other bodily tissues can help dozens more. In a world where a new name is added to the organ donation waiting list every 10 minutes, your decision truly matters.
  • Your Donation Status Does Not Affect The Quality Of Your Medical Care: Organ, eye, and tissue donation are not effective until death, and not a moment sooner. There is nothing to fear once you've become an organ donor, as the entire point of donation is to save lives.
  • You Can Be A Living Donor: While you're still alive, you can choose to donate a kidney or a part of one of your other organs to someone who needs it to survive. Donation is completely voluntary.
  • Your Donation Is At No Cost To You Or Your Family: Organ donors give the gift of life, and their families are treated with care and respect by the medical community.
  • You Can Still Have An Open Casket Funeral: Organ donation doesn't take away from the possibility of letting your loved ones have one final goodbye.
