Funeral Costs

Survivors of homicide victims may be eligible for coverage of out-of-pocket expenses relating to the crime. Funeral and burial expenses are allowed up to a maximum of $10,000.

Reasonable funeral expenses include: 

• Funeral service and staff services.
• All expenses related to the preparation of the body.
• Transportation of remains.
• Casket or urn.
• Memorial or marker.
• Floral arrangements.
• Reception.

CVC recognizes cultures, and people may celebrate life and memorials differently for loved ones. CVC will continue to work with families and survivors to provide options for funeral costs.
