What Is Burial Insurance Coverage?

— BurialInsurQuote Team

Burial insurance, also referred to as final expense insurance or funeral insurance, is a type of specialized life insurance coverage that people generally purchase to help protect their families and loved ones from the high cost of funeral, burial, and other final expenses.

These insurance plans are typically whole life coverage, offer permanent coverage, have smaller face amounts (death benefits) between $5,000 – $25,000, and feature simplified-issue underwriting; which simply means that you do not have to take a health exam or answer a bunch of medical questions to apply.

These whole life policies also feature, premiums that never increase, death benefits that do not decrease, and cash value accumulation accounts that increase as your premiums are paid.

You can easily gain accessed to this cash value in times of need, via policies loans, or if you ever decide to surrender your policy.

Although, burial insurance policies are usually taken out to cover one’s final expenses, they can also be purchased to provide extra funds for other purposes as well.

Things like:

  • Outstanding Medical bills
  • Probate fees & Attorney bills
  • Unpaid loans & Credit cards
  • Replacement Income for a surviving spouse
  • Financial gifts to family members & loved ones
  • Mortgage and/or Rent payments
  • Charitable donations

Another thing to keep in mind is that, because burial insurance plans tends to feature smaller death benefits, they can oftentimes “pay out” a lot quicker than your much larger life insurance policies.

Which can be a great help, if you have a larger life insurance policy (ex: $75,000 or more) already, and you prefer “discretion” when it comes to your finances.

By taking out a smaller policy to cover your final expenses, you won’t have the added worry of unwanted individuals and / or 3rd parties, knowing your business.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost of a funeral in the United States ranges anywhere between $8,000 to $10,000. This price generally covers all of the basics like:

  • Basic Services Fee
  • Use of funeral home facilities & staff
  • Transportation of the body
  • Casket
  • Embalming & Cosmetic preparation of the body
  • Burial Plot
  • Opening & Closing of the grave

The above price range may differ considerably of course, based on the funeral home and cemetery, the products & services selected, and the part of the country where the funeral service and burial is performed.

You should also keep in mind, that the average prices listed above may not include such things as:

  • Burial clothing
  • Burial vault / grave liner
  • Funeral reception / Repass
  • Flowers & Reaves
  • Obituaries
  • Headstone / Grave marker
  • Transfer of the body to a distant state.

The average cost of a direct cremation, without an urn or traditional funeral service for the viewing of the body, costs around $1,100 according to the cremation research council.

Of course, this price can vary, depending on the choice of crematory that’s used, and the part of the country that the cremation takes place in.

As mentioned above, burial insurance, is usually a whole life insurance plan with a small face amount (death benefit) ranging between $5,000 and $25,000.

These types of policies generally feature “simplified issued underwriting”; which simply means that there is no health exam (just a few yes/no health questions).

And, as a result, qualified individuals can usually get an underwriting decision in minutes or within 24 to 48 hours.

Also, because these types of life insurance policies are designed to cover a person’s final expenses, they can oftentimes pay out death claims quicker than many group life insurance plans from the job, or privately owned larger face amount policies.

Most people typically use burial insurance to cover the funeral, burial and other final expenses of a family member or loved one.

However, you may also take out a burial / final expense insurance policy for the purpose of leaving a financial gift behind to a loved one or charity, to pay off debts, or for spousal support.

The death benefit from these types of insurance plans, like with any other life insurance policy, can generally be used for any purpose whatsoever without restriction.

There is no major difference between regular or standard life insurance and burial insurance, other than the smaller face amounts, and easier and faster underwriting.

As mentioned earlier, burial insurance plans typically offer plans with death benefits that range from $5,000 to $25,000; while traditional whole life insurance policies generally start at around 25,000 and can have upper limits that can reach into the millions of dollars.

Also, most burial insurance policies tend to be whole life insurance, whereas regular life insurance can be whole life, term life, or universal life insurance plans.

When it comes to the cost of burial insurance, like with any other type of life insurance, the price will depend on your age, sex, health, and whether you smoke or use tobacco.

Prices can also vary greatly based on the amount of coverage that you are applying for, and the insurance company that you are applying for coverage with.

Therefore, it is advisable, to get a personalized quote from an experienced licensed professional or agency that represents more than one company, and as a result, can shop around for the best policy to meet your needs and budget.

In most cases the best burial insurance for seniors (or anyone for that matter) are burial plans that use whole life insurance.

This is because, unlike term life insurance, whole life insurance policies offer permanent coverage that does not terminate once you reach a certain age.

Whole life insurance also provides you with “locked-in” benefits such as premiums that never increase, death benefits that do not decrease, and cash value accumulation.

This cash value increases over the years, and you can use it to receive cash when it’s needed.

The short answer to this question is yes.

Most life insurance companies deem anyone that has what is called an “insurable interest” as being eligible to take out coverage on another individual.

In most cases this ability is limited to close family members, such as parents, legal guardians, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and spouses.

The short answer to that question is “yes” and “no”.

While burial insurance is essentially nothing more than a fancy name for a specialized type of life insurance plan that typically features whole life insurance, smaller face amounts ($5,000 to $25,000), requires no exams (just a few yes/no health questions) to determine eligibility, and are meant to cover one’s final expenses (funeral, burial, estate costs etc.),

There are, However, a few insurance plans on the marketplace today, that are being sold as burial insurance that are not “whole life insurance”, but rather, “term insurance” or “universal life insurance”.

With term life burial insurance plans, the premiums often times are not “locked-in” (they generally increase every 5 years), there’s no “cash value accumulation”, and you don’t have permanent coverage because these types of policies usually terminate wants you reach a certain age (age 80 ).

Universal life burial insurance plans, on the other hand are very similar to whole life insurance, in that they do offer “cash value accumulation”, and the possibility of permanent coverage and “locked-in” premiums.

However, if the market under performs you could potentially see a dramatic rise in your premiums and a premature termination of your policy if you are unable to pay the increase.
