Financial Support and Burial Assistance

The State of Michigan provides burial support based on eligibility to Michigan residents facing funeral, burial, or cremation costs they cannot afford. The body of the deceased must be physically in Michigan and an application for these funds must be made no later than 10 business days after a burial, cremation, or tissue donation takes place. More details on this program and the needed applications are available online. While this may not cover all the expenses, it can ease the financial pressure many families encounter.
