My husband passed away in August, we were living apart but not legally separated. I was just wondering if I am entitled to the cpp survivor's benefit. The funeral home I dealt with filed all the paperwork for me, but it's been 4 months and I've heard nothing back. I still didn't receive the death benefit either and still owe money to the funeral home. My husband had no life insurance or house insurance, his work insurance I didn't receive because he turned 70 two weeks prior to him dying so the policy we paid into for years was void.
