Public assistance with funeral costs

Under certain conditions, persons responsible for a funeral may apply for assistance with necessary funeral costs under Section 74 of the German Social Code XII if bearing the costs is unreasonable.

Individual assessment

The responsible social assistance authority decides whether and to what extent costs are covered after assessing the individual circumstances.

How we can help

Al Rawda can transparently outline the necessary funeral services and assist with organisational coordination.

Important: Cost coverage is not automatic. The responsible authority decides each case individually.
