Michael E. Neuner/Timothy Goff memorial death benefit program. In the event of death the benefit shall be known as a death benefit and shall be paid as follows:

1.

The reasonable funeral expenses of the deceased volunteer firefighter shall be paid in an amount not exceeding six thousand seven hundred dollars; provided however, that such six thousand dollar maximum shall not apply where a volunteer firefighter dies from injuries received in the line of duty as a direct result of firefighting. If such funeral expenses shall have been paid by a person entitled to benefits under this section or by others, the funeral expenses awarded shall be made payable to such beneficiary or others; otherwise they shall be payable to the undertaker who provided the burial. Funeral expenses shall be awarded in all death cases.

If there be a surviving spouse, to such spouse the lump sum of fifty-six thousand dollars, but if there be no surviving spouse, then to the executor or administrator of the estate of the volunteer firefighter, the lump sum of fifty-six thousand dollars. Such sum shall be in addition to any other benefits provided in this chapter and shall not be diminished by benefits paid to the volunteer firefighter during his or her lifetime. Any money paid to an executor or administrator pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision shall be distributed in the manner provided by the laws of this state for the distribution of the personal property of an intestate decedent. Provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as affording a greater benefit for those volunteer firefighters injured prior to the effective date of this act, however the spouse or estate of such firefighter shall continue to be eligible for a benefit in the sum of eleven thousand eighty-four dollars.
