Meanwhile, the VA benefit for funeral expenses for a non-service-connected death is $300, and $2,000 for a death connected to military service.

Just another ruse to further incentivize claiming death by COVID.

My parents were moderately wealthy. They both specifically requested no funerals. They wanted to be disposed of in the cheapest manner so that the money would go to us and not the funeral industry. Any government legislation like this is rent seeking on the part of that industry. Anything subsidized will be used more.

So, who has the biggest, most expensive funerals? Mafia dons and politicians and probably movie stars. Who has the cheapest? The black funeral home in Tallahassee was started by a white man and his family, which, by the way was half black, profited hugely. Black income in the early twentieth century was a tiny fraction of whites, but they had the most elaborate funerals they could afford. Not saying the white funeral homes were hurting, but the social need for large funerals has greatly reduced over even my lifetime. I recall attending a few fairly small services in the sixties, but since then I have been to no funerals at all.

When I saw the headline, I thought: “another good one from the Babylon Bee”

Looks like a Federal Incentive Program to kill people with covid so the survivors can collect funeral money.

Anyone, regardless of income, is eligible for this?

I really wish I had the ability and the nerve to scam the government out of money.

Seems like a combo new “claim Covid” payoff for families to go along with calling most deaths Covid, cum reparations—given the number of minorities reportedly dying of the disease.

Sure, why not; It isn’t their money. It is the taxpayer’s money, and the future generations money paid through hyperinflationary fiat.

Was the funding for this assigned to FEMA in one of the Covid-19 “stimulus” bills that Congress passed, or did FEMA just pull this out of their own regulations.

One could ask if Congress did pass a bill providing the funding for this, why? Well, because Congress does whatever they want when it comes to spending others money.

SS $250.

Cremate, around $1,000. My brother died poor just his SS money, I bought a nice Brass Urn online for $150. overnight shipping. We held his memorial at my sister’s, with just a cold cut platter, cake, flowers , photos, tea, soda, chips, each of us saying some words with a Gospel CD playing. That was both a sad time, but it brought peace to our hearts. This is what was done in the olden days. My middle sister is the keeper of our family treasures.

Think back to the simple private funeral of Country Singer Joey Martin Feek. She is buried on their farm, a simple wooden Cross in a simple wooden casket. Private funeral.

If folks accept that money, hope they read the fine print first...

Bet there are provisions that come with it that benefit federal and state governments somehow.

Betcha.
