Controversies Over the Regulation of a Funeral Payment

Summary/Abstract: The regulation of funeral payments has recently raised a number of objections. The controversies concern the personal scope of the entitled to benefit from this payment -family members of the deceased. The use of the term “spouse” by the legislator without clarifying its meaning has caused confusion in terminology. As a result, it is not known whether a “spouse” should be understood as a spouse remaining in a marriage, a spouse in a legal separation or a spouse in separation de facto. In case of funeral payments there is also a problem with the determination of the insurance risk. It would allow to clarify the division of insurance risks and to organize their internal structures. The Author critically assesses the amount of funeral payments adopted in 2011.
