Funeral Directors

Funeral Directors

Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) is dedicated to serving our donor families and the community through organ and tissue donation. We accomplish our mission through partnership especially including funeral home directors and their staff who also work to comfort and care for donor families. 

DNA’s partner relations coordinator works closely with funeral professionals to share in the care for donor families while anticipating any difficulties that may arise for the funeral home from the organ and tissue donation process. DNA works collaboratively with funeral homes to solve any possible challenges.

Submit Reimbursement

It is Donor Network of Arizona’s (DNA) policy that donor families are never, under any circumstances, billed for any charges or costs related to donation. Please do not bill the donor families for any donation-related expenses.

This reimbursement payment is meant for the funeral home for additional preparation work and is not a payment for the tissues that have been recovered.

Donation Vocabulary

When discussing donation, we always use word choice that shows the upmost respect for donors and their families to reflect the generosity of Arizona donors and the gifts they offer others.
