Funeral Costs


Overview: April 1, 2010

Effective: April 01, 2010

A supplement may be provided to pay necessary funeral costs of any person who dies in BC if the estate of the deceased person or any responsible person has no immediate resources to meet these costs.  There is no requirement that the deceased person, or the person’s family, must be BC Employment and Assistance recipients to qualify for the supplement.  Costs are to be recovered whenever possible.

This supplement is available under the Employment and Assistance Regulation.
