Note: These prices are only examples, and they are subject to underwriting and changes. Some seniors choose to purchase burial insurance in order to relieve their families from worry over the cost of a funeral. In other families, adult children agree to pay the premiums because they are the ones who will actually benefit from the policy. Also, it does not matter who pays the premiums, but the person who will get named on the insurance policy does have to get involved in the process of applying. For example, a burial insurance company might require a short phone interview.

Is it Hard to Qualify for Kentucky Funeral Insurance?

You can find burial plans that ask very few health questions, and you can even find plans that do not require answering any health questions at all. Typically, the kind of questions asked on these short applications are not about minor medical issues, and most relatively healthy seniors can qualify. Others can choose guaranteed acceptance policies that accept everybody. The best burial plan choice really depends upon the price, benefits offered, and the age and health of the applicant.
