Final Expenses As a society, we're conditioned to feel a bit uncomfortable with the subject of death. However, for generations, there is one aspect of the end-of-life scenario that has been a source of pride and reassurance for countless families: holding a funeral insurance policy. Burial insurance is very inexpensive compared to mainstream life insurance, but the relief and measure of ease a final expenses policy provides surviving family members and loved ones is invaluable. Hannah Navi, a freelance journalist who often reports on senior-centric issues such as Medicare Supplemental Insurance and Burial Insurance, cautions that there are many types of funeral insurance options; the policy applicant must read all the fine print and clearly understand the benefits being offered. A good source of information on funeral insurance and the firms writing final expense policies can be your state or county department of consumer affairs or department of insurance. |
