The person may accept or reject an anatomical gift in whole or in part. Subject to the terms of the document of gift and sections 2108.01 to 2108.29 of the Revised Code , a person that accepts an anatomical gift of an entire body may allow embalming,

the part to be removed without unnecessary mutilation. After removal of the part, custody of the remainder of the decedent's body passes
to the persons to whom the right of disposition for the body has been assigned pursuant
to section 2108.70 of the Revised Code or who have the right of disposition for the body as described in section 2108.81 of the Revised Code .
