Help With Funeral Costs
​
If there are insufficient funds for the funeral, you may be eligible for help with the funeral costs from The Department of Work and Pensions.

To qualify for help the applicant (not the deceased) must be in receipt of the following:
-
Income Support
-
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
-
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
-
Pension Credit
-
Housing Benefit
-
The disability or severe disability element of Working Tax Credit
-
Child Tax Credit
-
Universal Credit
You may also be eligible if you're getting a Support for Mortgage Interest loan. You can still claim Funeral Expenses Payment if you've applied for these benefits and you're waiting to hear about your claim.
A funeral payment will not cover all of the funeral expenses and there is no guarantee of acceptance. If your claim is successful, the payment will be made directly to the Funeral Director.
If you are not in receipt of any of the qualifying benefits then alternatively you may be able to seek help from a charity, please speak to your Funeral Director for more information.
It is important that you are honest and upfront with your Funeral Director so we can try and help you in the most appropriate way and act in your best interest at all times. Any information you choose to provide us with will be treated with the strictest confidence.
