The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced that it will begin applications for reimbursement for funeral expenses of deaths due to Covid.  When you read the word “funeral,” understand that it means any form of disposition of the body. The term includes burial, cremation, and other forms of disposition. It is not restricted only to   “a ceremony with the body present.” This will begin in April 2021. For more information    we are directing you to FCA's website.
