The Funeral Payment will cover a burial plot and the burial or cremation fee - though not the cost of burying ashes - and any associated medical expenses. You will get up to £700 to cover most of the rest of the costs of the funeral. If the deceased had a funeral payment plan then up to £120 can still be claimed for these costs if they are not covered by the plan. In addition you can apply for the cost of one return journey within the UK to make the arrangements, and, if the body must be moved more than 80 kilometres (about 50 miles) within the UK, the extra costs of bringing the body home will also be covered. If the funeral journey has to be more than 80 kilometres then the extra cost of this will be covered too.
