Missouri Coroners' and Medical Examiners' Association

Established 1985

Did you know?

The office of Coroner is not among the first government services that come to mind when citizens think what they pay for with property taxes. The Coroner is an obscure job visible mainly to the members of public safety agencies, journalists and relatives of those who die from suspected homicides, suicides or accidents. Other members of the public have little reason to familiarize themselves with the workings of the office or the qualifications of those who hold the office of Coroner.

The Association

The Missouri Coroners' and Medical Examiners' Association was established in 1985 to manage and maintain a coroners association for the benefit of members who are duly elected coroners in the state of Missouri. To aid in the establishment, improvement and maintenance of a uniform and stable system of laws relating to the regulation of coroners in the state of Missouri and the qualifications; training, rights, duties, and privileges of coroners. To aid in the establishment, promotion, improvement and maintenance of courses, classes, lectures, seminars and conferences calculated to encourage and advance the education and training of coroners in the state of Missouri. To research, compile and disseminate material and information relating to all matters or things of whatsoever character concerning coroners or of the interest of coroners. To engage in any activity permitted by law intended to promote and protect the interests of coroner in the state of Missouri and to do any and all acts or things incidental, necessary or convenient to the accomplishment of these objects and purposes.

Missouri Coroners and Medical Examiners News

The Missouri Coroners and Medical Examiners News is a quarterly newsletter publication distributed to the members of this association. The newsletter is very informative covering topics such as time of death, training dates, member items and other items of interest to coroners, deputy coroners, medical examiners and death investigators. The cost of this publication is $20.00 per year and includes one associate membership. If interested in receiving this newsletter, please contact me by email.
