What Happens Once a Family is Approved for Funeral Fund?
What Happens Once a Family is Approved?
Once a family is approved for funding, TBCF will email you to inform you they were approved for $2,500.
-
TBCF can either pay the funeral home or cemetery directly, or we can reimburse the family
-
If we are paying the funeral home or cemetery directly, a check will be sent once we receive an invoice of expenses
-
If reimbursing the family, a check will be sent once we receive a copy of their original invoice of expenses
-
If a family still has funding left in their Direct Financial Assistance or Relapse Fund, they can select to use their remaining funding at this time to go toward their funeral expenses (or we can continue to mail their original funding to their home per their payment plan)
