Besides just the cost of a funeral and burial or cremation, families may also have other expenses to deal with.

Since burial insurance policies in Arkansas pay in cash, the beneficiary is free to use some of the money to handle these typical expenses, and she is also free to keep any money that is left over as an inheritance.

How to Qualify for Burial Insurance in Arkansas

Burial insurance companies make it very easy to qualify for this type of insurance. Simplified issue policies only ask a few health questions on the application, and guaranteed acceptance policies don't require the answers to any medical questions at all. If possible, it is usually better to qualify by answering some basic medical questions because the policies that require more information typically offer an immediate death benefit and somewhat cheaper rates. Guaranteed acceptance policies may require the insured person to survive a waiting period before full benefits are payable, but they will either offer to return premiums or some part of the death benefit before that time. Even though adult children are free to help their parents find and pay for burial insurance coverage, the person that will get insured does need to contribute to the process. For example, the insured person might need to sign a form or answer questions in a short telephone interview.
