Immediate funeral assistance. My brother died. He received SSDI. My mother (SSDI, also) died 20 days earlier - she has been cared for, though. I need assistance for brother's funeral only. Collin County, Plano, TX. I receive SSI, housing assistance, and food stamps. Thank you for ANY help or advice you can give to help us bury him. I no longer have family, no one to help.

There are both government and non-profits that can provide help with funerals. Some counties (we are not sure if Collin does) also offers indigent burial services. This means that the county will pay to bury your loved one. So check with them too.

Try one of the indigent burial assistance programs for the poor. Sorry he died at 34. That is way too young. But insurance will generally not pay for funeral costs anyway. But maybe he can still get some form of aid.
