The basics
What is burial insurance?
Burial insurance is a small whole life insurance policy meant to help pay for a funeral, burial, or cremation and the bills that come with it. Coverage amounts commonly range from about $2,000 to $25,000, and some carriers offer more.
Because it is whole life coverage, the premium is designed to stay level and the policy does not expire as long as payments are made. The benefit goes to your beneficiary, who can use it for the funeral home, a headstone, medical bills, or any other expense.
Most plans use a few health questions instead of a medical exam. Depending on your answers, you may qualify for a level benefit that pays in full from the start, or a graded plan with a waiting period of two to three years.

California
Many California seniors start thinking about final expense coverage after helping plan a service for someone else and seeing how quickly the costs add up. Funeral and burial costs differ from one part of California to another, so it helps to size a final expense benefit around the arrangements your family actually expects. Talking it through costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
