What is burial insurance?

Burial insurance, which is also called final expense insurance by most insurance companies, is a type of life insurance that pays a predetermined cash amount to a specified beneficiary after the policyholder’s death. Burial, final expense, or funeral insurance is usually much less expensive than standard life insurance. Burial insurance is usually easier to qualify for than traditional life insurance, and it also features lower monthly premiums in most cases. Burial insurance policies are intended to cover the costs of funerals and related services.

Why is burial insurance necessary?

Burial insurance is necessary if you don’t have any savings or cash set aside for funeral and various end-of-life expenses. If you lack the ability to pay for your funeral, your surviving family will have to shoulder the burden and will become responsible for any debts that your burial incurs. It’s therefore a good idea to leave them a lump-sum payment using burial or final expense insurance, which should cover most if not all of the costs for a modest funeral. Burial insurance may also be a good option if you’ve been denied access to a standard life insurance policy.

How much burial insurance is necessary?

Normal burial expenses average around $10,000 in the United States, though the exact amount may vary depending on the location and the funeral home. Most burial insurance policies are priced accordingly, though policies with much higher death benefits are available. These policies will feature higher monthly premium payments and they may also have certain qualification restrictions based on health conditions or other factors. If you plan to have a simple funeral, a $10,000 policy should be enough to cover most of your family’s expenses.
