Funeral Insurance

Can I use funeral insurance money for something other than a funeral?

Yes. Despite the name, funeral insurance death benefits are not legally restricted to funeral expenses. Once the claim is paid, the beneficiary receives the money directly and can use it however they choose — funeral costs, medical bills, credit card debt, or anything else.
