That sounds great, I'm glad to hear I'm not the first one with whom you share your cadavers. That makes things a bit easier.

I asked around the lab what people usually do to ship tissue. Overnight refrigerated shipping (You can ask FedEx or UPS, whichever you choose, to put a label on it to keep it refrigerated) should do the trick fine for frozen cadavers. If you happen to have fresh tissue, it should be okay to ship it that way too. In any case, you could try to wrap the cadaver in a plastic bag, and put it in perhaps a foam box of some kind to keep it insulated. Adding in a cold pack of some kind would be helpful as well.

Let me verify with my Prof, but I'm pretty sure we can pay for the shipping, as these kind of options tend to get expensive pretty quickly.
