Bereavement Support

We believe supporting families goes beyond providing services; it also means offering access to financial and emotional help when it’s needed most.

Funeral Support Payment

If you live in Scotland and receive certain means-tested benefits, you may qualify for a Funeral Support Payment to help cover funeral costs. This payment can go towards cremation or burial charges, and the funds can be sent directly to our funeral home or to you.

You can apply through Social Security Scotland, and our team is available to assist you with the process if required.

Bereavement Support Payment

This UK-wide scheme offers financial help to those under State Pension age who have lost a spouse or registered civil partner. Payments include an initial lump sum followed by up to 18 monthly instalments. Visit the government website for more details, or contact us for assistance.
