10. PADD APPROVAL FOR ADVANCED RESTORATIVE ART PROCEDURE
I state that I understand that this authorization encompasses permission to embalm and to perform post mortem reconstructive surgery on the
deceased. I further understand that embalming, preservation and/or post mortem reconstructive surgery techniques are not an exact science and that
the results are dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to the condition under which the death occurred, time lapse between
death and the application of techniques, physical condition at the time of death, medications, life-saving procedures, cause of death, natural elements
and post mortem (autopsy) examinations.
I understand that strategic surgical incisions and excisions of some tissues may be necessary to reconstruct disfigured tissues. I further
understand that the number, size and location of the surgical incisions and/or excisions of tissue will be at the discretion of a licensed embalmer
specializing in these skills.
I state that I am the Person Authorized to Direct Disposition (PADD). I also agree to hold DoD Mortuaries, DoD contracted funeral homes, and
their employees harmless with respect to any and all claims of any nature whatsoever made by any person or entity with respect to all damages of
every kind.
