The Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Amendment Regulations 1995
These Regulations amend the Social Fund Maternity and Funeral Expenses (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/481) (“the 1987 Regulations”) by further specifying who may be entitled to a payment from the social fund by way of funeral expenses. They provide for a limit on funeral directors' fees of £500 and also on the costs of a person who is not such a director but who arranges the funeral and specify other expenses for which a funeral payment may be made under the 1987 Regulations. A transitional provision is made so that the amending provisions shall not have effect for deaths occurring before 5th June 1995 where the funeral takes place on or before 5th September 1995.
