Bill > H4500

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to increase the amount the Commonwealth can pay towards funeral expenses for certain individuals. Specifically, the bill allows the Commonwealth to pay up to $2,000 towards funeral and final disposition expenses if the total expense does not exceed $7,000, excluding cash advance items for services not directly provided by the funeral establishment and not included on the general price list. The bill also requires funeral establishments to include a general price list for services offered on their website in order to receive full payment or reimbursement from state agencies.
