How Much Is a Funeral Grant From DWP

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.
Eligibility requires both the person who has sadly passed away and the person making the claim to have both been receiving benefits like Universal Credit and if not a blood relative then a person with a close relationship with the deceased.
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. Learn how to apply and explore additional support options in this comprehensive guide.
