Question: How can I get help with funeral costs?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Get help with funeral costs (Funeral Expenses Payment)
section_headers: What you’ll get
section_content: Funeral Expenses Payment can help pay for some of the costs of the following:

burial fees for a particular plot
cremation fees, including the cost of the doctor’s certificate
travel to arrange or go to the funeral
the cost of moving the body within the UK, if it’s being moved more than 50 miles
death certificates or other documents

You can also get money for any other funeral expenses, such as funeral
director’s fees, flowers or the coffin. You can get up to:

£700 if the person died before 8 April 2020
£1,000 if the person died on or after 8 April 2020

The payment will not usually cover all of the costs of the funeral.
How much you get depends on your circumstances. This includes any other money
that’s available to cover the costs, for example from an insurance policy or
the deceased person’s estate.
Check the claim form notes for full details of what Funeral Expenses Payment covers.
If the deceased had a pre-paid funeral plan, you can only get up to £120 to
help pay for items not covered by their plan.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Get help with funeral costs (Funeral Expenses Payment)
section_headers: How the money is paid
section_content: Funeral Expenses Payment is paid into your bank, building society or credit
union account if you’ve already paid for the
funeral.
The money will be paid directly to the organiser of the funeral (for example,
the funeral director) if you have not paid yet.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not address how to get help with funeral costs
This response is only referring to how to use the money that you've already laid out for the funeral. This doesn't speak to getting assistance for once which is what the question is asking

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Arrange the funeral
section_headers: Funeral costs
section_content: Funeral costs can include:

funeral director fees
things the funeral director pays for on your behalf (called ‘disbursements’ or ‘third-party costs’), for example crematorium or cemetery fees, or a newspaper announcement about the death
local authority burial or cremation fees

Funeral directors may list all these costs in their quote. You can get quotes
from several funeral directors to see what is available within your budget.
Paying for a funeral
The funeral can be paid for:

from a financial scheme the person had, for example a pre-paid funeral plan or insurance policy
by you, or other family members or friends
with money from the person’s estate (savings, for example) - getting access to this is called applying for a ‘grant of representation’ (sometimes called ‘applying for probate’)

You can apply for a Funeral Expenses Payment if you have
difficulty paying for the funeral.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This gives detail about different ways to pay for a funeral and where to apply if unable to pay
This is a decent response. It mostly focuses on the costs that go into a funeral but at the end it provides a link for applying for probate to pay for the funeral with the deceased's assets
