Some of the duties that the local Auxiliary Chaplain may have to perform are the opening and closing prayers of your auxiliary meetings, draping the Charter when a member has passed away, sending condolences, and get-well cards, and participating in the Memorial Day Ceremony.
When you have an auxiliary member who has passed away, you must send a Deceased Member form that can be found on the Auxiliary Department of Florida Web Page at (https://amvetsflaux.org) Make sure you fill it out completely, and if you cannot get the information of the next of kin, then you may leave that blank.
Make 6 copies, (3) to be mailed to the Department Chaplain and (1) copy for your local Chaplain and (2) to be sent to the Department Executive Secretary. This needs to be done as soon as possible, so that a card of condolence can be sent to the next of kin, and to make sure the member’s name will be called at the memorial service in June and the member’s name can be removed from your local Roster.
You may find the ceremonies that your local Auxiliary Chaplain may be asked to perform in the AMVETS National Ladies Auxiliary Manual on pgs. 83-94. Please be sure to read those pages.
