  • Documents certifying the death
    (copies of Death Certificate and Burial Permit or Cremation Permit)
  • When requesting payment of Funeral Costs, attach receipts indicating the burial costs in addition to the Death Certificate.
  • If a person other than a dependent family member requests payment, he or she must submit documentation of marital relationship.
  • If a friend of the deceased or similar party handles burial arrangements, he or she must submit receipts indicating the burial costs.
