So it'd be a $700 burial allowance, adjusted for inflation from 2011 by a table. But I'll pass it on. Sometimes information is more helpful than straight cash!

Edit, it looks like it'll be reimbursed up to that, but they don't pay the cash first. She may be able to safely put that amount on credit, though.
