What if I’m not eligible for Funeral Support Payment?

Only those in receipt of certain benefits qualify for the Scottish Government’s Funeral Support Payment.

But that certainly doesn’t means that everyone else can afford to pay for a funeral.

At £4,000 for a basic funeral (without send-off costs), we are supporting many people who just don’t have that kind of money

Our advice to anyone who is worried about the bill for a funeral is, call us at the start of things and we will support you with free advice and compassionate guidance.

Alternatively you can visit the How to Pay Page on our website

Also here is some more information on grants that are also available
