How Much Will a Burial Insurance Policy in Texas Cost?

Texas burial insurance companies base rates upon a variety of factors and these could include the health, age, and location of the individual.

Who buys Final Expense Insurance in Texas?

Some older people do purchase these burial insurance plans to cover themselves. In other cases, grown kids will buy plans for their elderly parents. In either case, the actual person who will get covered needs to participate. This could simply mean answering questions on a short phone interview or signing the application. Also, it is most convenient, and sometimes cheaper, to set up automatic payments via an ACH from a bank account.

Is it Hard to Get Texas Funeral Insurance?

You might wonder if some pre-existing health conditions will disqualify older people. While guaranteed acceptance life insurance plans ask no health questions, some other policies do ask a few questions. Still, relatively healthy older people can qualify because insurers know they are marketing plans to many middle-aged people and seniors, from about 45 to over 80. If possible, it is usually better to answer a few health questions because these burial insurance plans will be cheaper and offer an immediate death benefit. With guaranteed acceptance life insurance, there may be a waiting period imposed before the plans will pay the full face value. Before this, the plans might only pay some percentage of the full face value or even offer to return prior payments (possibly, with interest).
