Burial Assistance

The State Burial Assistance Program provides cash assistance to eligible low-income Colorado residents to help with the cost of a funeral, burial or cremation. Burial Assistance is available to individuals who were receiving, or were determined eligible for one of the following programs at the time of death:

• Aid to the Blind (AB)
• Aid to the Needy Disabled (AND)
• Colorado Works/Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)
• Long Term Care - Aging & Adult Services
• Medicaid
• Old Age Pension (OAP)

If you do not meet the eligibility requirements for the State Burial Assistance Program, please refer to the General Assistance Program in Jefferson County.

Burial Assistance is available to eligible individuals regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, and disability, religious or political beliefs.

To get started, our office must receive a completed Application for Funeral, Burial and/or Cremation Assistance including:

• Copy of death certificate
• Proof of residency of deceased individual
• Proof of income/resources of deceased individual and spouse (or other legally responsible person) if applicable
• Social Security number of deceased individual
• Estimate of funeral, burial or cremation expenses

Once the application is received, an appointment will be scheduled with an Intake Program Specialist to determine eligibility. For more information, visit the Colorado Department of Human Services' Burial Assistance Web page.
