Public Sector ServicesSupporting the Public Sector
The Finders International Funeral Fund is exclusively available to the Public Sector to subsidise the cost of a Public Health Act funeral where there are no next of kin entitled to deal with the funeral or estate.
On receipt of an application, Finders International will undertake research to verify the family tree and ensure there are no entitled next of kin to deal with the funeral or estate. Once we have confirmed that there are no entitled next of kin, a contribution will be made. The funding awarded may cover part or all of the funeral costs, depending on the circumstances.
Trusted by the Public Sector
“I manage the mortuary service for our Trust. I work closely with our bereavement services to identify patients that unfortunately pass away without either family, friends or during financial hardship. I manage the budget and approve the funerals for those individuals that fall within the need of this service.
The funeral costs covered by Finders International’s Funeral Fund helps support others that require this service. Funds that are returned to the budget ensure we can continue to offer a dignified funeral to all, maintaining equality and demonstrating the fundamental values in care after death.”
