FEMA funeral assistance now flowing to families of Covid victims after a bumpy start
CNN

And then he waited. And waited. And waited. Harrington, who paid more than $11,000 for his father's funeral, called FEMA every week but the staffers couldn't tell him when he might receive the funds. The Danvers, Massachusetts, resident reached out to elected officials too as he grew increasingly frustrated.
