Ever heard of a grant for funerals? Someone mentioned to me there is a grant if the deceased was a regular PRSI contributor.

Is this someone pulling my leg or is there such a thing and if so how do you go about getting it?
 
per social welfare booklet 2oo5 a bereavement grant of 635 euro is payable on death of all insured people. forms are available from local social welfare offices or pension servicees office college road sligo. your local social welfare office should be able to help
 
The funeral director should have the forms. I'm not sure but I thought it was means tested.
 
Yeager - Moving slightly away from the point, Some Credit Unions pay out a set sum towards funeral costs so it may be worth checking to see if the deceased person was a member with one of them.
