UP TO $9,000 IN FUNERAL EXPENSES AVAILABLE FOR COVID-19 DEATHS – Secretary of State Bill Galvin announced that he has provided a link on his website http://www.sec.state.ma.us to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website which has information on getting government assistance to help pay for up to $9,000 in funeral costs of anyone whose death after January 20, 2020 is attributed to COVID-19.

“So many people have lost loved ones to this pandemic and coping with the loss of a family member is hard enough without needing to worry about the costs of laying that person to rest,” Galvin said. “I encourage anyone who has lost a loved one to COVID-19 to visit my website to learn more about the help that is available to them, even if the funeral has already been paid for.”
