In the years following the end of the SecondPg. 250
World War and the Korean War, benefits were expanded to veterans who died withoutthe financial means to provide for a dignified funeral and burial. Today the latter casesmake up the majority of applications that are funded by Veterans Affairs Canada.You will find the eligibility requirements for assistance outlined in this publication. Sincethe majority of funding is based upon the financial need of the deceased at death, theapproval process is described in detail. Eligibility criteria for assistance from the LastPost Fund (LPF) is also provided.Veterans Affairs Canada may provide full funeral and burial benefits, up to themaximum amounts payable under the legislation, as a matter-of-right (no means test isperformed on the estate of the deceased) to: a veteran who dies while on the treatmentstrength of Veterans Affairs Canada, or a disability pensioner who is deemed to havedied either from a pensioned condition(s) or a condition which can be related to militaryservice. When a veteran dies without next-of-kin, Veterans Affairs Canada may alsoarrange for the funeral and burial.4.1 Eligibility:If a veteran dies:While being treated by Veterans Affairs Canada for a non-pensioned conditionIn Canada, while receiving an allowance under the War Veterans Allowance Actor Merchant Navy Veteran and Civilian War-related Benefits Act, or would havebeen receiving this allowance if the veteran or his or her spouse was notreceiving payments under the Old Age Security ActWhile receiving a disability pensionand the estate of the deceased and the financial resources of any surviving spouse arenot sufficient to pay the expenses associated with "last sickness", funeral and burial (asdetermined by the means test described below), then assistance may be approved byVeterans Affairs Canada to cover all or part of such costs.4.2 Benefits:Assistance may be provided to a maximum amount for the services of one or, ifrequired, two funeral directors.

The Goods and Services Tax isreimbursed on amounts paid for these services. The legislation permits reimbursementof the "lowest cost earth burial" in the county, township or city of residence in: acemetery plot designated for veterans, a plot in a section of a cemetery designated as a"Field ofHonour", or a plot that would ensure a dignified funeral. Burial costs mayinclude the cost of the grave, the rental of a lowering device, the opening and closing ofthe grave and the costs of perpetual care.Pg. 251
