I had to have a child buried whilst on benefits. All costs were covered which was a great help at a very difficult time. I was on income support tho., its probably different on other benefits. If u go to the funeral home, they will tell u what this kind of help covers.., I didn't have to do a thing thank god, except apply for the help.
