​

You may be able to get Bereavement Support Payment (BSP) if your husband, wife or civil partner died in the last 21 months. (You must be married)

​

FUNERAL EXPENSES PAYMENT:

​

You could get a Funeral Expenses Payment if you get certain benefits and need help to pay for a funeral you’re arranging.

​

You (or your partner) must be reciveing one of the following benefits:

You might 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.

​

If you were responsible for a deceased child but you’re not their parent, the non-resident parent must get one or more of these benefits.

​

What you could receive:

Funeral Expenses Payment can help pay for some of the costs of the following although the payment will not usually cover all of the costs of the funeral.:

  • burial fees for a particular plot

  • cremation fees, including the cost of the doctor’s certificate

  • travel to arrange or go to the funeral

  • death certificates or other documents

​

How much you get depends on your circumstances. This includes any other money that’s available to cover the costs, for example from an insurance policy or the deceased person’s estate.

​

If the deceased had a pre-paid funeral plan, you can only get up to £120 to help pay for items not covered by their plan.

​

If you receive money from the deceased’s estate

Your Funeral Expenses Payment will be deducted from any money you get from the deceased’s estate.

​

The estate includes any money or property they had but not a house or personal things left to a widow, widower or surviving civil partner.
