The DD Form, formally known as the "Record of Preparation and Disposition of Remains (Contracted Mortuary Facility)," is a comprehensive document utilized by the Department of Defense (DoD) to record the meticulous care, preparation, and final disposition of the remains of deceased military personnel. This form serves a critical role in ensuring that all procedures are conducted with the highest standards, reflecting the respect and dignity owed to those who have served. The document captures detailed information ranging from the identification of the decedent, including their name, branch of service, and the authority arranging the preparation, to the procedures carried out by licensed morticians, including embalming and any associated expenses. It also outlines the use and intended disposition of the remains, whether through burial or cremation, detailing the specifics of the casket or urn used, and encapsulating the final transportation arrangements. The form is pivotal for both internally documenting the process in alignment with military protocols and providing a transparent account to the families, ensuring the integrity of the final honors rendered to the deceased. Moreover, it serves as a vital tool for accountability within the DoD, encapsulating expenses and services rendered in the care of the remains, underlining the profound commitment to honor the service and sacrifice of military personnel.
