Mortuary

 

Purpose:

To provide funds - to use as they see fit - to the family as soon as practical following a death in the family.

Eligibility:

In the case of the death of any of the following defined persons;

    • Member
    • Spouse
    • Child

Benefit:

Up to $7,000

Limits:

At the discretion of the Board

Payment:

By cheque or direct debit

Notes:

Should be accompanied by a card from the Society and delivered in person by a Society representative (the sooner the better - the family may need funds).

The Board may also consider granting a discretionary benefit of a lesser amount, where it is evident that the deceased was a Child of the Member who was primarily dependent on the Member at the time of their death, or where the Member has incurred significant expenses as a result of a traumatic death affecting the members' immediate family.

Any such requests may only be determined by the Board.
