Some people purchase a burial policy for themselves, but often, adult children offer to pay the premiums for their elderly parents. It does not really matter who pays the premium, but these are some things to keep in mind:

• The person who will get insured does need to participate in the application process by taking a short phone interview or signing a form.
• It is easy to set up ACH payments from a checking or savings account to ensure that the burial insurance policy does not lapse.

Who Can Buy a Burial Insurance Policy for Seniors in North Carolina?

Almost everybody can qualify for some time of plan. When the policies state that they are for senior citizens, they are usually open to applicants from about 45 to 80. Some burial insurance companies even offer plans to people over 80, but those people usually have to be in fairly good health for their age. While guaranteed acceptance life insurance plans do not ask any health questions, simplified issue burial plans do ask a few. By answering a few health questions, applicants might qualify for cheaper prices and slightly better benefits. We urge all of our clients to compare prices, benefits, and company reputation before making a decision.
