Will Foster & McGarvey help with applying for death benefits from Canada Pension, Social Services and Last Post Fund?
If you or a loved one are entitled to funeral benefits from the Last Post Fund (veterans), Social services and/or the provincial Office of the Public Trustee, it is imperative that you tell one of our Funeral Directors before making any funeral arrangements. This is because special applications procedures for these benefits must be completed prior to the actual funeral service. All of our Funeral Directors at Foster & McGarvey have extensive experience in applying for funeral benefits and arranging services in conjunction with the relevant agencies. In addition, Foster & McGarvey provides all the families we serve with a package containing application forms and detailed instructions on who may qualify for Canada Pension death benefits. We also provide a checklist and summary of duties following the funeral service for the executor and/or next-of-kin. Note: The summary of duties and checklist provided by Foster & McGarvey is not intended to replace the expertise of legal counsel in hand
