Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is burial insurance?
Burial insurance, often a type of final expense or whole life insurance, is designed specifically to cover funeral, burial, or cremation costs. It provides a death benefit directly to your beneficiaries to pay for these expenses.
2. How does burial insurance differ from traditional life insurance?
Burial insurance typically offers lower coverage amounts, focuses solely on final expenses, and often has a simpler application process (e.g., no medical exam) compared to traditional life insurance, which might cover broader financial needs like income replacement or mortgage payments.
3. Can I get burial insurance if I have health issues?
Yes, burial insurance is specifically designed to be accessible, even for individuals with health concerns. Many policies have simplified underwriting or are guaranteed acceptance, meaning health issues won’t prevent you from getting coverage.
4. Does burial insurance cover cremation as well?
Yes, while often called “burial insurance,” these policies provide a death benefit that can typically be used for either burial or cremation expenses, as well as other final costs.
5. Who handles the funds after I pass away?
The death benefit is paid directly to the beneficiary (or beneficiaries) you designate on your policy. They then have control over these funds to pay for the funeral and other final expenses as needed.
6. Is it better to pre-pay a funeral home directly or get burial insurance?
Burial insurance offers more flexibility. The funds go directly to your beneficiary, who can then choose any funeral home and make decisions at the time of need. Pre-paying a funeral home directly can tie your money to one provider and might have less flexibility if you move or if the funeral home goes out of business.
