Initial Contact

Please contact the funeral home of your choice or call the Burial program for a referral.  A written referral from one of the County’s contracted funeral homes is needed before meeting with Travis County Burial Staff.

Application Process

  1. Once funeral home referral is received, a burial program caseworker will be assigned to the case and reach out to the legal next of kin to get demographics for the decedent, proof of kinship, and provide the program application and release.
  2. If the legal next of kin lives out of the county, and paperwork may be emailed or faxed to them for completion.
  3. Information will be collected by the caseworker regarding the decedent's income and resources and well as the legal next of kin's household's income and resources. Other eligibility information will be collected as well. The applicant will be given a reasonable amount of time to get all of the paperwork completed.
  4. Once all required documents are provided and paperwork completed and returned, the burial or cremation will be scheduled.
