Funeral Protocols

[kbadler]

Is there any book our department can purchase on proper procedures for a member funeral, or family member of a dept. member etc.. or does someone have a set of protocol our department can look at.

Contact one of our Honor Guard representatives to request copy. We are finalizing our departments policies.

The Federation of Fire Chaplains can help in designing an SOP/SOG to prepare for a LODD

Yes, Federation of Fire Chaplains does have a book on funerals for LODDs. I am sure getting a copy of it would not be a problem. You can email me at HBC1off@aol.com or the executive director of FFC at ChapDir1@aol.com I am also familiar with Charlottesville's policies and they are good.
