Work & Income Funeral Grant Increase

As from April 1st 2010 the Work & Income Funeral Grant has been increased to $1855.75

You may get a Funeral Grant if you are either:

  • the partner, spouse, child, parent or guardian of the deceased person
  • arranging the funeral of someone with no partner, spouse or child.

How much of this grant can you get?

This depends on what money or assets the deceased person had.

If you are their partner, spouse, parent or guardian it also depends on:

  • how much you earn
  • any money or assets you have.
If you would like to know more about this please talk to one of our funeral directors or contact us here
