📊 Why Families Rely on Burial Insurance

When grief is fresh, finances shouldn’t add more stress. Burial insurance offers:

A guaranteed, tax-free death benefit—typically between $5,000 and $25,000—for final expenses.
Fast approval with little or no medical underwriting, especially helpful for seniors or those with health issues.
Level premiums that stay consistent over life, plus a cash value component in many policies.

💡 Real-World Scenario

One client purchased a $10,000 burial insurance policy with a guaranteed issue. When she passed, her family received the funds within 24 hours. They covered funeral costs and used the remainder to manage medical bills and a small legal obligation—preserving peace of mind during a difficult time.
