What is funeral insurance?
Funeral insurance is when a lump sum payment is made to your family if you should pass away. The amount paid out can be used to cover the costs associated with your funeral or to settle some of your affairs. With funeral insurance you pay monthly or fortnightly premiums for a fixed amount of cover.
Why is funeral insurance important?
Wherever you’re at in life, funeral cover is a good way to plan ahead and enjoy peace of mind that your family won’t be left with financial burden after you’re gone. With a funeral insurance policy, you’ll know you’re making the right decision by your children and loved ones.
How does funeral insurance work?
Suncorp Funeral Insurance helps make sure you’re covered by providing comprehensive cover you can rely on. Simply choose to pay monthly or fortnightly premiums for a fixed cover amount of $3,000 to $15,000 at application. Then your loved ones can use that lump sum for funeral cars and grave, clergy or chapel fees. Or to settle affairs, like unpaid bills or outstanding debts.
How much does funeral insurance cost?
The amount you pay will depend on a few things, like your cover level, payout amount, age, health and lifestyle. Once you’ve locked in your policy, the premium won’t go up as you get older. Get a funeral insurance quote online to see how you can tailor a policy to suit your budget.
