Learn about the decisions military families face if their service member dies, plus the options to memorialize their loved one. This includes determining who is responsible for making these decisions and how the Defense Department’s Casualty Assistance program guides families through the difficult process of making arrangements for funeral and memorial services, such as connecting families with a funeral director to help them with mortuary services.
In this podcast, host Bruce Moody speaks with Trevor Dean, a licensed mortician and program analyst with the Defense Department’s Casualty and Mortuary Affairs, and Military Funeral Honors Program, and Navy mortician Petty Officer Eric Bopp.
