Does Medicaid Cover Cremation Costs in Indiana?

Yes—Medicaid cremation assistance is available in Indiana through the state’s Burial Assistance Program.

Eligible individuals may receive up to $1,200 in Indiana Medicaid cremation benefits to help with cremation cost coverage.

This is one of several Medicaid funeral benefits provided to qualifying recipients under Indiana’s assistance system.

How the Medicaid Eligibility Process Works

Step 1: Medicaid Eligibility Verification

Provide us with your loved one’s:

  • Full legal name

  • Date of passing
  • Social Security number

We’ll contact Indiana’s Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) to confirm eligibility on your behalf.

Magnolia Cremations will file all Medicaid claim forms and documentation—at no cost to your family.

Step 3: Direct Payment & No Upfront Costs

If approved, Medicaid pays us directly. There’s no need for your family to pay upfront, even though processing can take 60 to 120 days. We’ll wait so you don’t have to worry.
