except the area, “For
MCL use only.” The form may be faxed to a MCL member
or the “presenter” can pick it up when he arrives
at the funeral home for the presentation. If the service
is at a place other than the funeral home, the form should
be picked up early enough to check all pertinent information:
spelling of name, next of kin, etc. Every MCL member who
may be called by the funeral home should keep a blank copy.
When a funeral home calls, the receiver needs to know the
name of the fallen Marine (to prepare certificate), the location,
address and time of visitation and the name and address of
the next of kin (to mail card). It is recommended however
that there be one contact person and one phone number for
the funeral home to call. If the contact person is going
out of town or is otherwise unavailable, an answering machine
should be employed with a message such as: “If this
is in regards to a Fallen Marine please call_____ at _______.
If not, please leave a message.”
The completed “Fallen Marine Information Form” should be placed
in a binder with a copy of the funeral service program. The funeral service
program can be obtained from the funeral home.
