Senior Burial Support Program offers free fundraising assistance for seniors on Medicaid with little, lapsed, or no life insurance coverage in place.

Troy, Michigan – November 24, 2025 – As families gather for Thanksgiving, a new collaboration is giving seniors on Medicaid a clearer way to prepare for burial expenses when coverage falls short. Memorial Pay Direct and home care providers in Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Indiana are launching the Senior Burial Support Program, providing free fundraising assistance for seniors on Medicaid who know their existing coverage will not be enough to handle burial costs.

A Joint Effort in Four States

Families who anticipate needing help paying for burial services can contact the following participating home care providers:

For assistance in Michigan: BlossomCare – DonYale Beckman, (248) 579-8858

For assistance in Michigan: Professional Home Care Services – Christopher Sumrall, (586) 541-8021

Memorial Pay Direct operates the Senior Burial Support Program and works directly with families who choose to move forward.

“When a family looks at the numbers and realizes there isn’t enough coverage, they need more than comforting words – they need a plan,” said Eboni Stanford of Memorial Pay Direct. “This collaboration gives seniors on Medicaid and their families a defined next step instead of panic.”

What the Program Delivers

The Senior Burial Support Program is built for seniors on Medicaid who have little, lapsed, or no life insurance coverage and want a realistic way to prepare.

  • Provides structured, guided fundraising assistance focused on burial expenses
  • Helps families understand expected costs and the gap that needs to be covered
  • Offers a clear process for inviting support from relatives, friends, or community connections while reducing last-minute scrambling and guesswork

“We can’t erase the cost of a funeral,” Stanford said. “But we can replace confusion with clarity and give families a framework for getting help before it’s too late.”
