4.12.3 Funeral and medical costs

Reimbursement of funeral costs to a declared maximum level and reimbursement of medical costs (including transportation of the deceased) are payable under Sections 18 and 16 respectively. However, these amounts are reimbursed to whoever actually bore those costs. The Act does not therefore specify any particular payee.
