If you are on income support and the deceased has no assets then they will help with costs of the funeral,the undertaker should be able to help you with the forms that are needed.As for flowers and the headstone then they do not help towards that.

You don't have to be on Income Support to get help. The Department of Works & Pensions deals with the claim. They will pay all but a small percentage if the deceased person has left no Estate.

In Nigeria, you can get lots of suspicions but the government won't give you a kobo except you are rich or you are a politician or related to a big time politician.
