Funeral expenses and charges

Help with the cost of a funeral

If you're arranging the funeral yourself and receive one of the following benefits, you may qualify for government assistance:

  • Income Support
  • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Pension Credit
  • Housing Benefit
  • the disability or severe disability element of Working Tax Credit
  • Child Tax Credit

To find out more, view the funeral payments page on the GOV.UK website.

You can also get advice from your local Jobcentre Plus. They can arrange an interview for you or they can send you the claim form SF200 to assist with funeral payments.
