Other than the family, there are veteran, union, and other organizational benefits to pay for funerals, cremation and final disposition, including, in certain instances, a lump sum death payment from Social Security. In most states, some forms of public aid allowances are available from the state, county, city, or a combination. Our staff can explain the various benefits and help obtain them for those who qualify.
