BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Starting Monday April 12th, FEMA will begin to accept applications for financial help for a loved one’s COVID-19 funeral.
To be eligible for funeral assistance, the death must have occurred in the U.S. and the death certificate must indicate the death was because of COVID-19.
You’ll also need to provide documents and receipts showing the funeral expenses.
The National Funeral Directors & Morticians Association is working with FEMA to spread the word to families who may not know this resource is even available.
