Change in Procedure for Requesting Military Funeral Honors
Posted August 23, 2023 on The Forum
The Fort Dix Casualty Assistance Center will no longer be accepting faxed requests for military funeral honors, moving to a system of emailed requests only, as of October 1, 2023.
The email address used to send requests for funeral honors is usarmy.jbmdl.id-readiness.mbx.dhr-hr-m-casualty-burial-request@army.mil. Some funeral homes already use the address for requests, but as of October 1, the center’s fax line will no longer be operational.
In addition, a new funeral honors request form has been created. The form can be found here. Funeral homes may begin using this form immediately.
The center’s telephone number is 609.562.4453.
“Our office can be contacted anytime during normal business hours and for after hours a voicemail can be left,” a spokesman for the center wrote in an email. “Our team checks the voicemail regularly.”
Any questions can be asked via the email address or by telephone.
