The purpose of this SOP is to provide chaplains, chaplain assistants, special duty personnel, and volunteers with policies and procedures for Unit Ministry Team (UMT) funeral support. This SOP applies to all chaplains, chaplain assistants, special duty personnel, and volunteers in the UMT. The mission is to provide assistance to authorized persons seeking UMT funeral support. The Installation Staff Chaplain is the manager of UMT support for funerals. The Senior Ministry Team (MT) NCOIC in the Chaplain Activities Office (CAO) will maintain separate Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish funeral rosters (DA Form 6). Chaplains in the grade of O-4 and below will serve on these funeral duty rosters. All chaplains will conduct funerals for deceased members of their command(s), other military personnel (active and retired), and authorized civilians as directed by the CAO, unless there is a conflict of religious conscience or denominational tenet. In these particular cases, chaplains will not be required to officiate in these funerals.
