My dad died few days ago the funeral in 6 days I can't even afford to travel to the funeral it's killing me feel I can't cope missing his funeral is going to destroy me
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad and heartbroken you can't attend the funeral , if you call the benefits coukd they help as I'm sure a work colleague had help with flower and travel help with a family's member funeral
If he left any money, his family/executors can arrange for reasonable funeral expenses to be paid from that. The funeral directors should be able to advise.
If not and if you are reliant on benefits you might qualify for a one off payment from the Social fund - see
