Funeral insurance

Why take out funeral insurance?

The costs of a funeral or cremation are sometimes unexpectedly high. Today, a funeral costs on average about €5,000. This does not even include additional costs such as the funeral reception and the headstone. For that reason, more and more people are taking out funeral insurance. This ensures that the funeral does not become a financial burden for the next of kin. The costs of the funeral or cremation are already covered by the insured capital.

From the first premium payment, you are insured for the full amount you choose. If you should die a month after paying your first premium, your insurer will still pay out your entire insured capital to your next of kin.

In addition, your funeral insurance includes next-of-kin care. This means that in the week after the funeral you will be assisted with all the administrative formalities you may have to deal with. This will ensure that you are aware of your rights and obligations as a surviving relative. Moreover, during this period you will also get support in the emotional aspect, so that you can mourn in peace.
