How Much Does a Burial Insurance Policy in Missouri Cost?

As with other life insurance for seniors, burial insurance companies determine prices mostly by health and age. It is possible to find companies that accept applicants of all ages, from birth to over 80, but relatively healthy and younger people will get offered lower rates. These are some example monthly prices for a Missourian who is a male, 68, and does not use tobacco:

• $5,000 face value: $39.58
• $10,000 face value: $75.83
• $15,000 face value: $112.08

Adult children are free to pay the premium for their elderly parents, but they must involve their parents in the application process. Also, it is most convenient to set up payments with an ACH that is charged monthly against a bank account.

How Do Guaranteed Life Insurance in Missouri Work?

Before you start comparing different companies, it is important to note that there are two basic kinds of burial policies in Missouri:

• Guaranteed acceptance life insurance plans: These do not ask any health questions on the application, so they might be a good choice for applicants with serious medical issues.
• Simplified issue: There are a few health questions, but they accept most relatively healthy seniors, and they will be cheaper.

Even senior citizens who manage chronic health conditions, like high blood pressure, can generally get accepted for a simplified issue plan. With a guaranteed issue plan, the insured person has to survive a waiting period that might be two or three years before the company will pay the entire death benefit. If the insured person dies before that waiting period ends, the insurer might either pay the beneficiaries part of the total amount of premiums or part of the total death benefit.
