How We Help Families
Funeral Assistance Grants

The Nereyiditas Foundation provides compassionate financial assistance to help ease the financial burden of funeral and end-of-life expenses for families who have lost a loved one to cancer. During a time of profound grief, families should be able to focus on honoring their loved one—not worrying about how they will pay for essential funeral services.

Our Funeral Assistance Grant Program provides financial support to eligible families experiencing hardship.

To ensure transparency and responsible stewardship of charitable funds, all approved grant awards are paid directly to the licensed funeral home, crematory, cemetery, or other approved service provider. Payments are not made directly to applicants or family members.

Depending on available funding and individual circumstances, grant assistance may help cover eligible funeral-related expenses, including:

• Funeral home service fees
• Burial expenses
• Cremation services
• Casket or urn costs
• Cemetery or burial plot fees
• Required death certificates
• Essential permits and administrative fees
• Other necessary funeral expenses approved by the Foundation

Every application is reviewed individually with compassion, confidentiality, and fairness. Our team carefully evaluates eligibility, financial need, supporting documentation, and available funding before making an award determination.

Once approved, the Foundation coordinates payment directly with the funeral home or approved service provider, helping reduce the family's financial burden while ensuring funds are used solely for approved funeral expenses.

Because our funding is made possible through the generosity of donors, grants are awarded based on eligibility requirements, documented financial need, and available resources. While we may not be able to cover every expense, we are committed to providing meaningful assistance and connecting families with additional community resources whenever possible.

Our goal is simple: to ensure that no eligible family has to choose between honoring the life of a loved one and facing overwhelming financial hardship. Every grant reflects our commitment to compassion, dignity, accountability, and hope.

Family Resource Navigation

Beyond financial assistance, we connect families with trusted community resources that provide additional support during the grieving process, including:
• Grief counseling services
• Hospice and bereavement programs
• Community assistance organizations
• Additional support services that help families begin healing

Community Partnerships

We work alongside hospitals, oncology social workers, hospice organizations, funeral homes, and other community partners to ensure families receive compassionate, coordinated support when they need it most.
