What is Funeral Cover?
Taking out Life Insurance in your 50s can ensure that a lump sum of money is left to your loved ones when you die to cover the costs of your funerals and to give you a good send-off.
The average cost of a funeral nowadays can range up to €30,000 with coffin, burial plot and headstone, along with refreshments after your burial. Someone will have to pay for this, why not have a life insurance provider pay for it instead of your family having to?
