Thinking about funeral cover? You  are making a wise choice. because many people neglect to plan for this part of life and are faced with financial stress when it’s needed. Planning ahead helps avoid unexpected financial stress during difficult times.

However, selecting the right funeral plan requires asking the right questions to ensure it is tailored to meet your needs and preferences. Here are some guiding questions from our experts at Workerslife. 

What is Included in the Funeral Plan?

Understand exactly what your funeral plan covers. Key questions to ask include:

  • Does the plan cover essential services such as embalming, burial or cremation?
  • Are transportation costs for the deceased included, especially if they pass away in another country? Does the plan provide for a casket or urn?
  • Are there additional benefits like grief counselling? 

What third party costs, such as cemetery fees, are excluded? 

Most funeral plans typically include:

  • Basic services 
  • Some additional benefits 
  • Coverage for third-party costs

What is the Cost Structure?

The most important question on your mind is going to be how much will the funeral plan  cost.Understanding the cost breakdown ensures you’re getting value for your money.  Instead of simply asking how much it costs, this question needs to be broken up into different parts so you can understand your plan better. 

For example, how are premiums calculated? Are the premiums  fixed or can they increase over time? What is the maximum payout amount? Are there any limitations or exclusions? Are there  add-ons available to enhance the coverage of your funeral plan? 

These questions will  guide you in selecting a plan that offers comprehensive coverage and ensures you get real value for your money while staying within your budget. What is the Claim Process?

Ease of claiming is important during an emotional time, ask the following questions to make sure how your claims will be handled. What document is required for a claim, how long does it take for claims to be processed and paid and can beneficiaries be updated at any time.

Can I Customise My Plan?

Having personalised funeral products is critical because life is unpredictable. Ask if your funeral plan will allow choosing specific funeral services or suppliers and if it can be adjusted to accommodate changing needs or circumstances. Suggestion: Life is unpredictable, so flexibility in your funeral plan is important. Ask whether you can select specific services or suppliers, if the plan can be adjusted for changing needs, such as switching from burial to cremation and the cancellation process is straightforward and flexible, should you need to cancel for any reason. 

For example, you might want to change from a burial service to cremation, or you might want to cancel for personal reasons. Ask how flexible the cancellation process is.

What is the Company’s Reputation?

Finally, a company with financial stability is important for your protection, so remember to ask how financially stable and reputable the company  that will provide your funeral products is. Read customer reviews and feedback on their service to gain a clear understanding of the good standing of the company.
