In Virginia, Medicaid covers certain funeral expenses for eligible individuals, but the specifics can vary. Generally, Medicaid may cover costs related to burial plots, headstones, and funeral services up to a certain limit. However, expenses must align with Medicaid guidelines, and families are encouraged to consult with local Medicaid offices or funeral service providers to understand the exact coverage available. It's essential to ensure that all claims adhere to state regulations and limits.

Does Medicare or Medicaid help with funeral expenses?
NO. I say again, NO! SS only pays less than $300 at death. You need Final Expense insurance for pennies on the dollar to pay for the funeral, tombstone, grave site, graveside service, medical bills, probate, estate taxes, etc, etc. If you don't, you leave that financial Burden with your family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My original answer that Medicaid covers funeral expenses still stands. This is a state by state thing. Some states do and some don't. Indiana Medicaid does pay for SOME funeral expenses; body burial and cremation. The Indiana Medicaid coverage for a body burial is insufficient to cover those costs. Indiana recently raised their maximum for cremation. One cremation company based in Indianapolis will accept the Medicaid money and include an urn without any costs to the family. For information on funeral expenses you may want to take a look at the web site Funerals and Ripoffs. You will be surprised when you read the documented facts about the funeral industry and the site will show you how to save money in planning the funeral. funerals-ripoffs.org
