Cremation and Burial Assistance

Cremation & Burial Assistance Program funded in part by the Eleanor Hutchinson Parker Foundation

DUE TO A HIGH VOLUME OF REQUESTS AND EXHAUSTION OF FUNDS, OUR CREMATION AND BURIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD.

Empty Cradle pays the funeral home and/or cemetery directly and we ask that funds are not passed through to the family; there must be an outstanding balance in order to receive assistance.

*Please contact funeral home BEFORE filling out application.*

Requests can also be made via mail or email. Please request a paper or PDF application HERE
