How can I claim a reimbursement of funeral expenses out of the Deceased’s CPF money?
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. Please note that the maximum amount of funeral reimbursement claim allowable for a deceased is $6,000.
