The funeral of a loved one (especially in Moscow) is one of the most expensive items of expenditure, so the state is trying to help the relatives of the deceased organize a decent farewell to the deceased. As a rule, the burial allowance in 2021 is established for certain categories of citizens in a certain amount.

Who can qualify for benefits

Compensation is made only to the citizen who directly incurred the financial costs associated with the burial and the holding of the farewell ceremony. In this case, it does not matter at all whether the person is a relative of the deceased person.

Exceptions apply only to additional payments provided from the regional budget. There are some restrictions regarding the degree of relationship and other conditions.

The allowance can be issued and received only once within six months from the date of death. The state will provide financial assistance in organizing the funeral of the following categories of citizens:

• persons officially registered as unemployed;
• people with disabilities;
• persons of retirement age who did not have a job at the time of death;
• home front workers and participants in the Great Patriotic War;
• illegally repressed persons;
• persons who participated in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;
• full-time students;
• parents or other relatives in the event of the death of a minor.

Required Documentation

The first document that must be obtained is a certificate in form 33. It is issued by the registry office simultaneously with the stamp of death certificate. The certificate is drawn up on the basis of a medical report and an official death certificate obtained in the hospital where the person died, or in the morgue.

The social security authorities, the FIU or the employer (depending on the status of the deceased) must submit:

• applicant's passport;
• certificate in form 33;
• medical certificate of death;
• stamped death certificate.

Additionally, you may need:

1. Extract from the personal account of the deceased in the FIU or his work book - for an unemployed citizen.
2. Veteran certificate or service certificate and work book - for WWII veterans and military personnel.
3. Extract from the personal account of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or work book - for persons without a fixed abode.

If a non-working pensioner has died, a copy of his pension and registration certificate is additionally delivered to the PFR branch.

In the event of the death of an unemployed citizen, it is necessary to submit to the department of social protection of the population:

• a certificate of his official registration as an unemployed person or a certificate of full-time education;
• an extract from the house book (a copy of a financial and personal account or a single housing document);
• medical certificate of death.

If the death occurred outside the Russian Federation, care must be taken to ensure that all accompanying documentation is translated into Russian.

A set of documents for registration of a grant for the burial of a minor citizen is formed depending on the employment of his legal representatives.

In the case of official employment of both parents, you will need:

• father and mother passports;
• certificate in form 33;
• stamped death certificate.

Unemployed parents additionally submit their work books.

If childbirth ended with the birth of a still child, the woman should present her passport and the infant's death certificate.

Features of the appointment of compensation for the burial of disabled people and pensioners

Relatives of a pensioner or a rehabilitated citizen who did not work at the time of death, as well as an officially registered unemployed person, have the right to use the “Social funeral” program (at the expense of the state).

In such a situation, one can expect to receive a free service for the installation of a gravestone worth no more than 3,200 rubles, but the payment of a burial allowance will be denied.

The installation of a gravestone in 2021 for military personnel and veterans of hostilities is compensated in the amount of 35,171 rubles, for veterans and participants of the Great Patriotic War - 28,178 rubles.

Residents of Moscow who are engaged in the burial of disabled people of I-III groups are also entitled to compensation in the amount of 3,300 rubles for the installation of a tombstone.

Distant relatives, as well as strangers who took care of the disabled person until the moment of his death, can count on compensation for the costs of providing medical care, but only if the person died of illness.

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for a procedure for collecting the costs of treatment and burial of a deceased citizen from his heirs.
