You can indicate the amount of funeral expenses which you would like to claim from the deceased's un-nominated CPF monies in the online application form.

Generally, claims of up to $6,000 are allowable.

Only a beneficiary is eligible to claim for reimbursement of funeral expenses from the deceased's un-nominated CPF monies.

The claimant will have to submit the following supporting documents:

a) Other identification documents (for non-Singaporeans) of claimant and applicant who submitted the Online Application Form.

b) Death Certificate (if the Deceased passed away outside Singapore)

c) If claimant is:

  • i) Spouse of deceased – Marriage Certificate; or

  • ii) Child of deceased – Birth Certificate of Child and Marriage Certificate of parents; or

  • iii) Parent of deceased – Birth Certificate of deceased and Marriage Certificate of parents; or

  • iv) Sibling of deceased – Birth Certificate of deceased, Birth Certificate of sibling and Marriage Certificate and Death Certificates of deceased's parents.

d) "Declaration Form (CPF monies) for funeral expenses". You may obtain a copy of the form via https://pto.mlaw.gov.sg/deceased-cpf-estate-monies/forms/ (deceased CPF / Estate monies > Forms).

e) Payment will be made to the claimant via PayNow (which has to be registered with your NRIC) or Direct Credit to the bank account. To receive payment via GIRO to a non-DBS / non-POSB bank account, please submit a copy of the beneficiary’s bank passbook or statement showing the bank account and holder’s name. No documents required for payment via PayNow.

f) Relevant receipts incurred for Funeral Expenses.
