Per Los Angeles County Public Health, masks are no longer required indoors, regardless of vaccination status. However, anyone may continue to wear a mask based on their personal preference and comfort level. In addition, we are taking every possible measure to serve families and their loved ones as quickly and as professionally as possible. The increase in the number of families we have served over the past year has led to higher than normal call volumes and grounds maintenance requests. Additionally, we are experiencing delays with the design and production of memorial markers. Thank you for your understanding as we work to serve each family with the highest level of care and compassion.
FEMA COVID-19 Funeral Assistance guidelines
If you lost a loved one due to COVID-19 and paid for that loved one's funeral, interment or cremation after January 20, 2020, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has stepped up to provide reimbursement for those expenses.
You may qualify for up to $9,000 for funeral costs related to a single loved one and up to $35,500 for funeral costs related to multiple COVID-19 deaths. FEMA is now taking applications for assistance through a dedicated call center at 844-684-6333 (or 800-462-7585 for TTY).
We can help you document funeral costs. If we have a copy of your loved one's death certificate, we can provide that to you, too. However, FEMA does not permit Rose Hills to submit documentation on your family's behalf.
In fact, be aware of fraud. No one can register you for FEMA Funeral Assistance but you. FEMA has received reports of scammers reaching out to people offering to register them for funeral benefits. FEMA has not sent any such notifications and will not contact you before you register for the program.
