Hello, everyone, as many of you know or if you don’t, I am a member of the Missouri EMS Funeral Assistance Team. We are a team of individuals that go all over the state to provide assistance to agencies that might have an EMT, paramedic, RT, nurse or pilot that is killed in the line of duty.
The Missouri Emergency Medical Services Line of Duty Death Funeral Response Team is a trained and dedicated corps of EMS volunteers that will respond to your department when requested. We are first responders, EMT’s and paramedics that work and volunteer right here in Missouri.

We provide honor guard services and we specialize in assistance with serious injury events and funeral procedures including planning for both line of duty and non line of duty deaths. It is our mission to represent all members of the EMS profession with honor, dignity, and respect. Additionally, we will also strive to provide compassion, support, and assistance to the families and colleagues of fallen EMS personnel and their departments.
