Burial Insurance in Indiana

Since many seniors have to live on a limited income, a burial insurance policy provides a way for older people to make sure that their families have money to make dignified funeral arrangements. Since a burial policy is a type of life insurance for seniors, it pays the beneficiary in cash. This gives the beneficiary of the policy a lot of flexibility to manage those proceeds in any way she needs to. Compare the best companies that offer burial insurance in Indiana online.

How Much Does Burial Insurance in Indiana Cost?

Indiana burial insurance companies set their rates by age, health, and smoking or nonsmoking. Because each company has its own rate charts, it is also important to compare prices from different companies. As an example, these are sample prices for an Indiana man who is 45 and does not smoke;

• $5,000: $14.32
• $10,000: $25.45
• $15,000: $36.40

Note: These are only sample burial insurance rates, and they could vary because of location, company, or underwriting. Some seniors find these plans very affordable. In other cases, adult children offer to pay the premiums for their elderly parents. Regardless of who pays, these are some things to know:

• Payments: Set up an automatic ACH debit against a checking or savings account to make sure coverage doesn't lapse because of a missed bill.
• Application: Even if somebody else pays and shops for insurance, the person who needs insurance has to help apply. The main requirement is usually a quick phone interview.

Guaranteed Life Insurance for Seniors in Indiana

Preexisting health conditions won't prevent you from finding a plan, but some serious health issues might limit choices. To understand this, consider two types of plans that you will find:

• Guaranteed acceptance: These ask no health questions, and every qualified applicant gets accepted.
• Simplified issue: These ask a few health questions, but they do not require a physical exam.

The right burial insurance plan really depends upon the health of the applicant. Even older people with mild medical issues can still qualify for a simplified issue, and guaranteed acceptance policies are meant for people with a recent history of heart disease, cancer, or another very serious illness. Guaranteed life insurance plans have a waiting period, and the covered person has to survive that period in order to qualify for the full death benefit. Before that, the plan may only offer to pay some percentage of the full face value or even just return premiums. Simplified issue plans offer immediate death benefits, sometimes larger benefit levels, and cheaper prices.
