How can I claim for reimbursement of funeral expenses out of the deceased's un-nominated CPF monies?
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.

The claimant will have to submit the following supporting documents:
