Help With Costs

Under certain circumstances the person responsible for making the funeral arrangements may be eligible for help with the costs from the Department of Social Security (D.S.S.).

This will generally apply should there be insufficient funds available to cover the costs of a private funeral, or if either you or your partner are in receipt of one of the major D.S.S. benefits. For a claim to be processed, a form issued by the D.S.S. will need to be completed, by the claimant, and sent together with a copy of the funeral account to their local D.S.S. office.
