Funeral Insurance: What Is It and How It Works

What is funeral insurance and how does it really work? This question comes up quite often from our customers who are 50 years old and older.
When you search online for later life products for anyone over 50, you will see a lot of over-50s products including funeral insurance.

So what is funeral insurance?

Funeral Insurance is also known as over-50s insurance. It is an insurance policy that will pay out a fixed amount when you die.
Over-50s insurance allows for one to get an insurance policy without any medical checks, meaning anyone over 50 years old can get a policy in place.
Most funeral insurance providers will pay out a fixed sum based on the person’s age when they took out the policy. Obviously, the older you are when you take a policy out the smaller the lump sum amount will be.

How does funeral insurance work?

When you take out an Over-50s funeral insurance you will decide how much you want your family or beneficiary to receive when you die.
Your insured amount will determine how much your monthly premiums or payments will be.
Because it is an insurance policy, you will be paying your premiums every month until you reach the age cap stated by your insurance provider or pass away.
Once you have agreed to a policy, you should receive documents of your agreement and terms and conditions of your policy. If the policy is not for you, you can still set one up and make sure you receive and keep all documents referring to the policy.
When you die, your family will receive the lump sum amount agreed as long as you have paid your premiums over a period of time
You should be aware that if your life expectancy is long then you may pay more than what your family will receive.
