Harvard Morgue body donor family settlement

Close relatives and named designees of people who donated their bodies to Harvard's Anatomical Gift Program may be able to claim a cash share.

Could this apply to you?

Family member of a Harvard body donor · 2003-2023

• Are you the spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, sibling or grandchild of someone who donated their body to the Harvard Anatomical Gift Program, or the person they named in the gift document?
• Did the donor's body leave the Harvard Morgue for cremation or burial between January 1, 2003 and March 31, 2023?
• If you are a grandchild, did the donor's body leave the morgue between January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2023?
• Is the class member you're filing for alive now?
• Are you someone other than a defendant, Cedric or Denise Lodge, or a judge on the case?

What you’ll need

Have the donor's name and the date their body left the Harvard Morgue for cremation or burial, plus proof of your relationship or the Instrument of Anatomical Gift. You need the LoginID and PIN from the notice to file online; if you don't have them, email the administrator to ask for them or mail a paper form.

Your next step

We check your relationship to the donor and when their remains left the Harvard Morgue.
