When a loved one passes away, there is a one-time claim for $255.00, to use for burial. Where do I go? And does it apply to the care giver ?

Social security office; you must bring death certificate, and must be done by the executor of the estate. If one wasn't assigned, the nearest relative, then barring that, the caregiver.

That sounds like the very generous Social Security payment. Look up the nearest SS office in the phone book in you're area, and give them a call or pay them a visit.

I have never heard of this. Usually the family or life insurance pays for the burial.

So, that price hasn't gone up in what? 75 years? it costs upwards of $3000 to bury someone these days, and that's in Potters Field or Hope cemetary, in a mass grave
