If you have lost a loved one during the pandemic, like I have then FEMA has a program that can help pay for those funeral costs. I lost my grandma on Jan. 22nd to COVID and if you lost someone you love, I give you my condolences. It's been a rough year for a lot of us and the people we lost will forever live in our hearts, it's rough and expensive to deal with funeral services but hopefully this gives you a little financial help. Some money back for your expenses. Here are some of the requirements to qualify for FEMA reimbursement.
