KPERS Funeral Home Policy for the $6,000 Death Benefit
DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY FORM – RETIRED
Naming a Funeral Establishment In addition to a living person, your estate and a trust, you can name a funeral establishment in Part D to directly receive your $6,000 retiree death benefit for funeral expenses. If you directly name a funeral establishment, the establishment will pay the tax on the benefit as regular business income. If you designate a funeral establishment, you also need to name a primary beneficiary to receive any other retirement benefits. If you wish to keep your current beneficiaries and simply add the optional funeral establishment designation, you may leave Parts B and C blank and initial the statement in Part D. This will add the funeral establishment to your beneficiary record without changing your current primary and contingent beneficiaries.
