FEMA, Texas may provide up to $9,000 in funeral, burial expenses

FEMA and the State of Texas may provide up to $9,000 to cover funeral or burial expenses resulting from the severe storms and flooding.

FEMA said people are eligible for the assistance if they are a U.S. citizen or lawful resident and if FEMA can confirm their identity, the death or disinterment was caused by the disasters, and the expenses are not covered by other sources of financial assistance.

People can apply for assistance online here, on the FEMA mobile app, or the FEMA Helpline. An in-person assistance site is at First Baptist Church at 625 Washington Street in Kerrville.
