Anyone who has lost a loved one, knows how difficult loss can be. The emotions can be overwhelming, but one quickly finds how hard of a time it can be financially as well. The cost of a funeral can add up quickly, and the last thing someone needs to worry about in such a difficult time is if they will be able to cover the funeral expenses. That is why planning ahead to find a policy that fits your needs is critical.
Burial Expenses
A tough topic to discuss. Final expenses are the expenses a person acquires at the time of death. This usually includes burial arrangements and medical expenses. The average burial runs around $8,000 - $12,000. This does not include funeral. Funerals as morbid as they may sound can be as expensive as a wedding. It is a gathering of loved ones and depending on where funeral services are held and how many people attend, the average funeral can run around $10,000 - $20,000. Medical expenses are another story and have no cap on how expensive they can turn out to be.
Peace of mind for Seniors
