The funeral has been pre-funded. Where does the money go if theres extra?
What if it is underfunded? If the deceased is on Medical Assistance at the time of death, County Social Services will ask for a full accounting of funeral services and pre-funded proceeds. Money left after the funeral costs are paid will more than likely be owed to the County. Any shortage of funds will be owed to the funeral home. If the deceased is not on Medical Assistance at the time of death, then normal beneficiary rules apply.
