How Do Burial Insurance Plans Work?

Burial insurance is a marketing term that describes a specific type of whole life insurance, designed to cover your funeral and other end-of-life expenses. These policies don’t require medical exams, and seniors with pre-existing health issues won’t be precluded from obtaining a new policy.

The premiums and coverage always stay the same, and the coverage will remain in force indefinitely.

When you die, the insurance company will pay the death benefit in the form of cash (tax-free) to your loved ones. They can spend the money with no restrictions and are able to keep whatever funds are left over.

Some companies offer policies with no waiting period, which means you’re fully protected for natural or accidental death when your policy begins. To qualify for an immediate coverage plan, you must apply for a policy that has health questions.

On the other hand, there are policies with no health questions that guarantee approval. Guaranteed approval plans always have a 24-month waiting period, whereby death during this time will result only in a refund of your premiums.

The Free Look Period In New Hampshire And The FTC Funeral Rule

In New Hampshire, residents have the guaranteed right to return a policy within ten days of receipt and receive a full refund. Often called a “free-look” provision, this clause protects consumers from being scammed or if they simply change their mind.

When planning a funeral, the FTC Funeral Rule can be helpful as it governs funeral homes. First, it requires funeral homes to provide written and transparent prices upon request. Also, they cannot force you to choose only from pre-planned funerals. You can choose only which products and services you want. Finally, they must allow you to import products bought from outside sources.
