Cost of a Maryland Burial Insurance Policy Prices depend upon the applicant's age, health, location, and their use of tobacco. For example, these are some sample prices for a Maryland man who is 49 and smokes:

• $5,000: $19.39
• $10,000: $35.57
• $15,000: $51.76

Note: These prices are only examples, and you might find quotes vary because of the company, health underwriting, and exact location. Many seniors find the price affordable, but some adult children also offer to pay the premiums for their parents because they will benefit from the proceeds. Either way, these are some things to remember about applying and paying for a burial policy:

• Signing up: The person who needs coverage also needs to get included in the application process. Companies might require that individual to answer a few questions on the phone or sign some forms.
• Payment plans: The best way to pay is through an automatic payment plan set up against a savings or checking account. This makes certain the plan won't lapse because a bill got overlooked.

Guaranteed Issue Burial Insurance in Maryland

You may have heard that you can buy guaranteed issue life insurance policies, and you won't need to answer any health questions. This is true, but these types of policies do impose a waiting period of two or three years. Before that time expires, the plan only refunds premiums or pays some percentage of the death benefits. Most relatively healthy people can find an immediate death benefit and cheaper prices by answering a few health questions. While people with a very recent history of serious medical problems still might need guaranteed issue life insurance, taking the time to answer medical questions could actually save money and open up more choices. Some of these plans even accept people over 80 years old.
