What is the DHS payout for unclaimed remains for a funeral home?

$555
$240
$145
$100

The correct answer is: $555

The DHS payout for unclaimed remains processed by a funeral home is established at $555. This amount typically reflects the costs associated with handling and interring unclaimed remains of individuals who have passed away without known relatives or means to cover funeral expenses. The allocation of this specific amount helps to ensure that funeral homes can manage the basic dignified care and disposition of such remains in accordance with state regulations and guidelines. Knowing this payout is important for funeral homes as they navigate the complexities of providing services for unclaimed individuals and ensures that they are aware of the financial support available from the Department of Health Services (DHS). The procedure for claiming this payout is an essential part of the funeral director's responsibilities in providing ethical service and compliance with legal requirements.
