Revised Code § 4123.66 authorizes the Bureau to pay reasonable funeral expenses in an amount not exceeding $5,500 if death results from a covered injury or occupational disease. The Bureau may reimburse anyone, whether that person is a dependent, a volunteer, or someone who otherwise pays the funeral expenses. A 1959 amendment authorized reimbursement of a volunteer. The cost of treatment by medical personnel given in an effort to revive the employee, including ambulance service, oxygen, injections, and the like, is also reimbursable in death claims.
