What is burial insurance?

Burial insurance is also called funeral insurance or final expense insurance. It is a form of life insurance that pays a predetermined amount to a specified beneficiary after the policyholder dies. Burial insurance is usually less expensive than standard life insurance. Burial insurance is usually easier to obtain than standard life insurance in terms of qualifications and allowed medical problems. Burial insurance also usually features lower monthly or annual premiums than standard life insurance. It is intended to cover funeral-related services and products.

Why is burial insurance necessary?

If you don’t have savings or cash prepared to pay for your funeral or other end-of-life expenses, you should invest in burial insurance. If you do not, your surviving relatives will be held responsible for the costs of your burial and any associated expenses, which could leave them in debt. Burial insurance leaves your family a lump-sum cash payment which may be used to cover funeral expenses or anything else that they desire. Burial insurance may also be used as a low-cost alternative to traditional life insurance in the event that insurance companies have declined to cover you because of medical or lifestyle-related reasons.

How much burial insurance is necessary?

As of 2016, the average American funeral costs around $10,000, though this figure will fluctuate based on your exact location and the type of funeral services your family desires. Burial insurance policies with higher payouts are available, but they will feature higher monthly or annual premium payments. They may also feature qualification restrictions based on your health and your lifestyle choices (for example, smoking or drinking). If you plan to have a small funeral service with minimal frills, $10,000 should provide your family with enough money to cover all of the expenses.
