Financial support for bereaved families
Overview
Who can we go to for financial support?
If the deceased’s family or whānau can’t afford to pay for the funeral or tangihanga, they’ll need to go in to their local Work and Income office and apply for a grant.
If the death was due to an accident, ACC can provide a range of payments, including funeral grants and survivor’s grants for the partner and children.
Whānau may also be able to access other funding through their iwi organisations or other sources.
