About this resource
This initiative provides financial support for burial and cremation expenses for low-income individuals whose estates do not have adequate resources. The assistance can cover up to $1,500, based on the decedent's financial situation at the time of passing and the overall expenses for burial and cremation services.
Intake Procedure: To start the application process, individuals can call, visit in person, or access the website. Applications must be submitted within 30 days following the death.
Travel/Location: Most funeral homes in the area can help with the necessary paperwork for this service. If the burial or cremation costs have already been fully paid, no financial assistance will be provided. This program does not permit reimbursements, and the total expenses for burial and cremation cannot exceed $2,500.
