Money spent on funeral arrangements is allowed under Medicaid’s rules, depending on your state and eligibility requirements. Only four states offer burial or cremation assistance: Colorado, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Check your options to keep costs down.
What Does the Average Funeral Cost?
Read our article about how Medicaid helps cover funeral costs. Funerals are expensive, but you can talk to the funeral home for state resources and advice on how to lower costs. There may be charitable organizations or state and local funds available, too. Do you or your loved one have an inexpensive funeral expense policy?
You can always contact an elder law attorney familiar with your state laws and local resources.
