Did someone in your family die due to COVID-19 and you have unexpected funeral costs? The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is offering to help pay for funeral costs incurred by the pandemic. If you didnât have funds such as insurance to cover funeral expenses for a COVID-19 death, you can apply for up to the maximum amount of $9,000 per funeral.
