For Families

Family Services Center

OCME serves families and communities affected by sudden and traumatic loss. We provide assistance with compassion, dignity and respect for all those we serve. Our Resources and Guides page provides more information on the services we provide. You can also find our Family Information Guide on that page.

Families receive assistance at Family Services Centers in the five boroughs. Important concerns for families served by OCME include identification and claiming of their loved one.
