Funeral expenses for deceased organ donors in Taiwan

 In Taiwan, the Ministry of Health and Welfare helps pay for the funerals of deceased organ donors.

 From the Taiwan Organ Sharing Registry and Patient Autonomy Promotion Center

(2)  Grants and Assistance for Donors' Families

a.        Funeral Subsidies:
The MOHW provides funeral subsidies to the donor's family, including NT$50,000 for corneal donations and NT$100,000 for multiple organ donations in addition to the cornea.

b.        Farewell Care Service:
In order to express our gratitude to the organ donors and their families, we provided flower baskets and certificates of appreciation at the farewell ceremony of the donors. In addition to affirming the selfless dedication of the organ donors, we also thanked the family members for their decision.
