We can pay funeral expenses (excluding related expenses such as wake, headstone or the memorial) directly from the deceased’s account once we receive the funeral director’s original tax invoice.
If the funeral expenses have already been paid, we will need proof of payment (e.g. copy of bank statement) along with the original funeral director’s tax invoice and receipt before reimbursement can be made.
If there are insufficient funds to cover the invoice, we may close the account and pay the balance of the account to the funeral director as a part payment.
