check from employer's father

My father was a lorry driver, and was killed in an accident in September. His employer's insurance company just sent me 2 checks for a total of 2000Ł. It cost me twice that for his funeral? Does this sound right? I've never had anything like this happen and I have so many people telling me so many different things. I was his only child, and he was not married at the time. So as you can imagine...I am dealing with quite a lot right now. His boss and insurance seem to be so nice, but the truth is...I wouldn't know if any different. I just can't believe that my dad lost his life working for that company, and 2000Ł  is all they have to pay. I have NOT deposited the checks. Can you help me?
