Casualty & Mortuary Affairs
The Casualty and Mortuary Affairs programs offer a broad range of compassionate help for families of service members who are missing, ill, injured or deceased.
They provide a casualty assistance officer or representative who assists survivors with applying for eligible benefits and entitlements, such as connecting them with grief counseling and finding a financial counselor.
The programs also help with recovery, care, preparation and disposition of remains and the personal effects of deceased service members. Eligible family members will also be offered government-funded travel to attend funeral services, or to visit a hospitalized ill or injured service member.
