Document Checklist
Documents to keep ready
Having these ready speeds up most assistance claims.
- Certified copy of the death certificate (registered with the Local Civil Registry)
- Statement of account or funeral contract from Libintia Caja
- Official receipts of funeral payments
- Valid government ID of the claimant
- Proof of relationship to the deceased (birth or marriage certificate)

Plan members pay less upfront
With the Love Your Neighbor Program, members only pay the interment fee upon pick-up or delivery. Assistance claims can then help with other family expenses.
Libintia Caja Mortuary Care is not a government agency and does not decide on or release assistance. We prepare funeral home documents to support your application. Eligibility, requirements and amounts are determined by each agency.
