A funeral plan pays out in the event of the death of the insured persons, providing the beneficiaries of the policy with the funds they need to pay the funeral expenses of the deceased. Immediate and extended family members can be included on the same policy.
Funeral insurance policies often include benefits like unveiling benefits to cover the cost of a tombstone and grocery benefits that pay a monthly cash amount to policy beneficiaries for a stipulated period of time.
