<p /> <p>The value of help for funeral costs is calculated to cover the necessary
costs of: a new burial plot with all necessary burial fees or the cost of necessary
cremation fees; reasonable cost of transportation of the body in the UK, for any part
of the journey that is in excess of 50 miles, and the necessary cost of that part
of the return journey that is over 50 miles for the transport of the coffin and bearers,
plus 1 additional vehicle; the cost of documentation needed for the immediate release
of assets of the deceased; and the necessary expenses of one return journey for the
responsible person to arrange or attend the funeral. We also provide up to £700 for
other funeral expenses.</p><p> </p><p>To be eligible for a Funeral Payment the person
who is responsible for payment of the funeral bill must be the partner of the deceased,
if there is one, or a close relative or friend of the deceased and be in receipt of
certain income based benefits.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>
