hundred dollars for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1988, and one thousand two hundred
dollars for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1989, and subsequent fiscal years, as an
allowance toward the funeral and burial expenses of such deceased. The payment for
funeral and burial expenses shall be reduced by the amount in any revocable or irrevocable funeral fund, prepaid funeral contract or the face value of any life insurance policy
owned by the recipient. Contributions may be made by any person for the cost of the
funeral and burial expenses of the deceased over and above the sum established under
