However, although you may be granted financial assistance, any payment made does not generally cover the full cost of the funeral. We are able to facilitate a payment plan in order to pay the outstanding balance. If the person who passed away ever worked for the Armed Forces, had a war pension or were members of a trade union, society or association with charitable connections, they too may be able to assist.
