My sister who had a learning disability has died and I'm eager to find out what grants are available to pay for a Christian burial, I have some savings to often towards this but there is likely to be a shortfall.

I am sorry for your loss and may your sister rest in peace.

If your sister had no funds or assets, you should speak with her local authority, who have a duty of care for making final arrangements. If your sister was known to the LD social care team, they will be able to assist you.
