Kind words, encouragement and appreciation of our team at this difficult time

Dear Gordon, Alison & family, I hope you are all well as can be during these strange & disturbing times. Since this virus struck-my thoughts have been with you & relatives who’ve lost family members. It’s almost a year now since we lost mum & I still remember so well how distraught & ill prepared I was on the day I spoke to you & how from that moment, you calmly helped, comforted & reassured me through such a painful event.I am relieved & fortunate my mum never got to hear about Covid 19 or suffer its effects-I know others aren’t so lucky & I hope you have strength to continue giving the same levels of care & comfort to those families that we received from you & your team.
With every best wish & continued sincere thanks SR

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.
