Do I have to use burial insurance benefits on funeral expenses?

Once you pass away, the beneficiaries of your final expense or burial policy can use the death benefit payout in any manner that they choose. Many beneficiaries do elect to use the death benefit funds to pay for funerals and related costs, which typically cost around $10,000 in the United States. Burial expense payouts may be used for any purpose, though, whether it be a purchase, a bill, a debt, or a loan.

How do you apply for burial insurance?

Most insurance policy applications are done online in 2016. This is true for burial and final expense insurance as well, so the first step is for you to navigate to the website of your preferred insurance company. Once there, you can either get a quote, speak to an agent, or go ahead and start the application process (which usually involves answering a short health-related questionnaire). You’ll need to provide the insurance company with personal and billing information before the application process is completed. Alternatively, you can call the insurance company to speak with a live agent. He or she will assist you in selecting the best burial insurance policy for your budget and your personal needs.

Do burial insurance premiums change?

Most burial insurance premiums are guaranteed, meaning that they do not change over the life of the policy. These premiums are calculated with regard to your health, your age, your location, and many other factors. Once you have signed the insurance contract, however, your insurance company will not change the premium.
