What the service does

The Bereavement Assistance Program helps families in Western Australia with funeral costs when they cannot afford to pay and the person who died did not leave enough money or assets to cover the cost. The service may help pay for a basic funeral. Applications are assessed based on the family's financial situation. Families may be asked to contribute to the funeral costs if they can.
