Due to the simplified application process (no medical exam), approval for cremation insurance can be very quick, often within a few days or even instantly, depending on the provider.
6. What if cremation costs rise in the future? Will my policy still cover everything?
Your policy pays out a fixed death benefit. While this benefit provides substantial financial assistance, it’s essential to select a coverage amount that anticipates future cost increases. Our advisors can help you choose an appropriate benefit amount to ensure adequate coverage.
