Comanche Nation · FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Burial Assistance
Up to $10,000 paid to the funeral home of the family’s choice toward the burial of an enrolled Comanche member, covering professional services, casket, headstone, flowers, obituary, burial plot, minister’s donation, vault, transportation and related items. Cremation is funded up to $5,000.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
The Funeral Home page states the eligibility requirements as: "The deceased must be an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation"; "Proof of Enrollment is required, such as a Tribal Enrollment Letter from the Comanche Nation Enrollment Department, verifying enrollment." It adds: "Burial Assistance may be provided in cases where a newborn or infant dies before they are enrolled with the Comanche Nation, provided that the deceased was eligible for enrollment. Amount of assistance will be up to $5,000.00 for an infant/newborn." The maximum is $10,000 for burial and $5,000 for cremation "due to the difference in costs of services." Critically: "Burial Assistance will not reimburse the immediate family member if the burial costs have been paid in full by the family or if a burial policy is expected to cover all burial expenses" — so apply before paying. The service application "must not exceed 30 days from date of death." Required documents are the CDIB or tribal enrollment letter of the deceased, a statement of funeral goods and services, and an invoice signed by the next of kin. Incomplete applications are held for at least 30 days and services are contingent on funding.
Where it's offered
Nationwide
No residency requirement or county list is published. Eligibility keys on the enrollment of the deceased, and payment goes to "the funeral home of their choice," so the benefit is not confined to Oklahoma. All three outreach offices, including Dallas, list the Funeral Home among the non-local services available to members living away from Lawton.
