Mortuary Affairs

Mortuary affairs at Tinker AFB and the casualty assistance office, in the 72nd Force Support Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, work with families after the death of a loved one to give them the best support possible, said mortuary technician James Wright.

When a military individual on active duty (or Guard and Reserve members on active duty orders) passes away, his or her family members, or next of kin, are immediately notified by a team of individuals that generally consist of that person's commander, a medical officer and chaplain.
