In April, FEMA will begin providing financial assistance for funeral expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020, for deaths related to COVID-19 to help ease some of the financial stress and burden caused by the pandemic.
Funeral assistance is intended to assist with expenses for funeral services and interment or cremation. This assistance is limited to a maximum financial amount of $9,000 per funeral and a maximum of $35,500 per application.
Applicants will be required to provide documentation such as a death certificate, funeral expenses documents, and proof of fund received from other sources.
