BDA Gov. Financially Assisted Funerals
The Bermuda Government Social Assistance program has authorized a burial benefit to its clients who are actively enrolled in the system at the time of their passing. The burial benefit is paid directly to the funeral home once the family has contacted the social worker representing the deceased client.
Funeral Benefit Guidelines
The social worker will advise the family and the funeral home of the total value of the benefit, which will not exceed $4,000.00 BMD. The approval and total value payable letter must be approved and received by the funeral home before services are rendered.
