Sadly, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, many more Britons are having to plan funerals for their loved ones.
While the expenses of this event can often snowball, those claiming Universal Credit could also be entitled to a Funeral Expenses Payment.
If the person passed away on or after April 8, 2020, claimants could get financial support of up to £1,000.
This could help with important costs such as burial fees, important documentation, flowers or the coffin.
