[Mr Veritas]

I am so sorry to hear of you loss,being out of work too, and trying to organise/pay for the funeral can't be easy.
This:~

Is the DWP's Official Webpage regarding help with funeral payments.
You must be on some sort of benefit before you qualify,but have a read of it and see.

BTW tamborine,
While I know that your intentions are good,
Your link is to an Isle Of Man Government website,where laws/rules are very different to those of the UK.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother, my condolences, try the local council/social services.
