What is the DHS payout for transportation of a donated or unclaimed body being cremated?

$0.15/mile up to $100
$0.32/mile up to $176
$0.50/mile with no limit
$0.25/mile up to $150

The correct answer is: $0.32/mile up to $176

The correct payout for transportation of a donated or unclaimed body being cremated is $0.32 per mile, with a maximum limit of $176. This reimbursement structure is designed to cover the costs associated with the transportation of such bodies while ensuring that the financial responsibility is manageable. The specified rate reflects the operational costs that funeral professionals may incur during the transportation process, taking into account factors such as vehicle maintenance and fuel efficiency. The cap on the payout serves to provide a safeguard against excessively high transportation costs, thus balancing equitable compensation for the funeral service providers with fiscal responsibility in managing public funds.
