How to get help with funeral costs

by Abercorn Funeral Services | May 8, 2024
  • We will supervise all arrangements during and after the service, including liaising with all third parties such as the church, clergy, crematorium, cemetery, and florist.
  • We offer professional services at a fixed price covering the entire funeral arrangement, with no hidden fees.
  • Once you have made your personal choices, we will give you a written estimate of the funeral costs. 
  • Note: Costs of a funeral are defined as a debt against the estate, so you may be able to arrange for the funeral to be paid by the estate rather than paying yourself.

Getting help with funeral costs

Trouble meeting funeral costs? Then discuss this with us at the time of arrangement. You may be able to apply for a Social Fund Funeral Payment to help with funeral costs. If you do not qualify for a payment, we may still be able to advise you on other forms of assistance.
