FEMA FUNERAL ASSISTANCE AIMS TO ASSIST FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF COVID-19 If you buried a loved one over the past year that died due to COVID-19 you may be able to receive assistance from FEMA.
BREANNE WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
Over the course of the past year families have faced unparalleled loss as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to nearly 600,000 deaths throughout the nation. Many locally have felt the brunt of COVID-19 as well. David Wolf, owner and a director of Haught Funeral Home, said in the past year they
have buried 50 to 60 people that had COVID-19 as the cause of death or underlying cause of death. He recently learned that FEMA is now offering assistance to those who had to bury a loved one due to COVID-19 and said he wants to get the word out so local families can seek reimbursement.
