CHOOSING THE BEST FUNERAL INSURANCE
When considering insurance to cover end-of-life expenses, it’s natural to wonder what the best funeral insurance is. It’s a reasonable question. But is it the right question? Let’s put it this way: When you shop for a homeowner’s policy, do you just pick an amount or do you figure out how much coverage you need first? That’s how we look at funeral insurance.
The best funeral insurance is the one that covers the expected cost of your funeral. In other words, you need a funeral plan to know how much coverage to shop for.
The best insurance agents will work with you to create a funeral plan before they try to sell you a policy. That way, you’ll know how much insurance to purchase. When you work with one of our specialists, that’s precisely their approach. You’ll be sure that you are not just getting the best insurance, but the coverage you need.
Our recent Forums article discusses the topic of the best funeral insurance in more detail. We encourage you to take a look.
