The Department of Social and Family Affairs spent more than €4.7m on funeral and burial costs under the exceptional needs payment (ENP) scheme last year, an increase of almost €1m on 2006.

To the end of August of this year, the spend by the department was almost €3.6m. However, this figure is expected to rise to more than €5m by the end of the year...
The average funeral expenses payment is €1,426 while the average burial payment is €1,817.
