What do I do if I cannot afford to pay for final arrangements (burial/cremation) for my loved one

Category: FAQ

If your loved one was a veteran, you may contact Veteran’s Affairs toll free at 1-800-827-1000 for funeral assistance that may be available to you. Also, the website for Veterans Affairs has many resources available that may help to cover the cost of final disposition arrangements for veterans and/or their immediate family members. The website address is www.va.gov.

If you cannot afford burial/cremation arrangements you may also qualify for monetary assistance through county programs.
