Funeral Expenses Only

A person who has incurred funeral expenses as a direct result of the death of a primary victim and who is NOT a related victim may be awarded assistance for funeral expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her.

An example of a person who may be eligible to apply for payment of funeral expenses could be where the deceased primary victim has no close living relatives and a friend (or distant relation) is therefore paying for funeral expenses. That person may apply to the Tribunal for reimbursement of the funeral costs only.
