The DWP Funeral Expenses Payment helps low-income individuals cover essential funeral costs, such as burial or cremation fees, with a capped contribution for extras like coffins.

Respect Funeral Services offers affordable options, including woodland green burials, direct burials, traditional funerals and direct cremations, complementing the grant to ensure dignified farewells without financial strain.
