Riggani Urrely's 73-year-old father is one of countless COVID-19 victims.
As if losing him wasn't hard enough, his cremation costs were an extra blow.
She's hoping to get that $3,500 back with FEMA aid.
The requirements:
-The funeral has to have happened after Jan. 20 of last year.
- The death certificate must attribute the passing to COVID-19.
- You will need any receipts from the funeral home, for transportation or for the burial plot.
In a statement, FEMA said it is receiving thousands of calls, so it is asking for patience with wait times.
