I would say that funeral expenses pose the biggest problem in Quebec. What happened to me and to a number of families I have met is that we did not get any money, because the crime involved a minor child who had never made any contributions.
So people in that situation don't get anything else, even after receiving the $3,300. My daughter's funeral cost me $16,000. That was what it cost to make sure she was laid to rest with some dignity. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that a parent should get just $3,300 or nothing at all to bury their child. It's unacceptable. That's not enough for a parent to bury their child with dignity. Some parents are forced to hold a small funeral or to cremate the body, meaning no more than a half-day service.
