The amount of insurance you need for your burial and funeral will depend on the related expenses you want to cover, including the cost of your casket, headstone, memorial service and other expenses.
A study conducted by the National Funeral Director's Association found that the average cost of a funeral is around $7,700.
Most burial insurance policies offer coverage amounts from $2,500 up to $20,000 or more, so there is money available to pay for all of your funeral costs and related expenses.
Some burial plans start for as low as $8.80 per month, depending on your age and the amount of coverage you need.
Also, burial policies provide an easy way to get the insurance you need, since there are no health exams and no health questions asked. If you are age 45 to 85 your approval may be guaranteed , meaning you cannot be turned down for coverage due to your health.
