Help with funeral expenses
Finding it difficult to pay for a funeral?
You may be able to get a Funeral Expenses Payment if all the following apply:
- you get certain benefits or tax credits
- you meet the rules on your relationship with the deceased
- you’re arranging a funeral in the UK, the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland
War veterans
If the person who died was a war veteran, you may also be able to get help from Veterans UK.
You don't have to be on benefits to claim but if you are also claiming a Funeral Expenses Payment it may affect how much you get from the Veterans Agency.
