Example scenario

Value Promise5

The amount your family receives as a payout will depend on the option you select when you take up a policy. Here’s a quick guide:

  1. If you choose the 100% option, your payout will be your cover amount or 100% of premiums paid, whichever is greater.
  2. If you choose the 70% option, your payout will be your cover amount or 70% of premiums paid, whichever is greater.

Optional extra

Accidental Death Cover

With Suncorp Funeral Insurance, you have the option to add Accidental Death Cover. This is paid if you pass away from an accident, or within six months of the injuries sustained in an accident. This benefit is paid in addition to your Funeral Benefit.  

What's not covered?

Your Funeral Insurance won’t be paid if you pass away during the first 12 months after your policy commences, due to:

  • an accident that happened before the policy start date,
  • a sickness, or
  • an intentional self-inflicted act.

Please note, if you cancel your policy or it lapses, you’ll lose all your premiums paid up until that date. There are exceptions, such as if you’re struggling to meet your premium payments. If this is the case for you, please call us to discuss your available options.

This is just a summary, for full details of what is and isn't covered please refer to the Suncorp Funeral Insurance Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
