To qualify for assistance under the Veterans Affairs Canada Funeral and Burial Program, both service and financial eligibility criteria must be met. The Last Post Fund must speak to a veteran’s next of kin, executor or other responsible person to establish eligibility before approving assistance.
When contacted, the Last Post Fund will conduct a short interview to determine if we may assist. Therefore, it is helpful if an applicant has access to service information as well as financial information for the veteran.
The following online form may be used to supply information to initiate an application. Once submitted, a Last Post Fund representative will contact you to confirm information and verify financial criteria. An official application will follow by mail.
