CNG Guidelines under Burial Assistance

Program Overview

Provides burial assistance to help survivors of the deceased, enrolled Comanche tribal members, cover the high cost of burial expenses by making a payment to the funeral home of their choice.

Services Provided:

• Burial Assistance
  • Currently, the maximum assistance provided is up to $10,000.00 to the funeral home chosen by the family.
  • Payment will be for the interment charges, including professional services, casket, headstone/tombstone, flowers, newspaper obituary, burial plot, minister's donations, vault, cremation, cemetery plot, transportation fees for the deceased, outer burial container, additional receptacles, or packages of proceeding items.
  • If the family chooses to cremate the deceased, funding will be up to $5,000.00, due to the difference in costs of services.
  • The services provided are optional and are decided upon by the family.

Eligibility Requirements:

• The deceased must be an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation
  • Proof of Enrollment is required, such as a Tribal Enrollment Letter from the Comanche Nation Enrollment Department, verifying enrollment.
• Burial Assistance may be provided in cases where a newborn or infant dies before they are enrolled with the Comanche Nation, provided that the deceased was eligible for enrollment.
  • Amount of assistance will be up to $5,000.00 for an infant/newborn.
• Burial Assistance will not reimburse the immediate family member if the burial costs have been paid in full by the family or if a burial policy is expected to cover all burial expenses.
• Service Application (Must not exceed 30 days from date of death)
• CDIB or Tribal Enrollment Letter of Deceased
• Statement of funeral goods and services
• Invoice with the signature of the Next of Kin

Applications will not be processed until all required documentation is submitted. Incomplete applications will be held for at least 30 days—services contingent upon funding availability.
