The basics
What is funeral insurance?
Funeral insurance is another name for a small whole life policy that helps your family pay for funeral costs. It is often sold as burial insurance or final expense insurance, and the coverage works the same way.
It is different from a preneed funeral plan, which is arranged with a specific funeral home and pays that provider directly. With funeral insurance, the death benefit goes to the beneficiary you choose, who can spend it on the service, cemetery costs, travel for family, or outstanding bills.
A funeral with burial can cost several thousand dollars once the service, casket, plot, and headstone are added together, so many people choose a benefit amount sized to local prices and the type of service they want.
Here's what we'll walk through together.
