How to avoid paying too much for life insurance - Part 12

How much do you know about your insurance?

You won’t find many people who find joy in planning their death. Although it is a topic many choose not to discuss it is very important. What will happen to your family, loved ones, friends, and all your personal possessions after you pass on? Will your family be left with debt and payments that they can not possible afford? Does your life insurance cover all of your funeral costs or just up to a certain amount. These are all valid questions and you need to know the answers. The cost of funerals are rising is the insurance benefits rising with them? I know just last year my grandfather passed and his insurance paid up to $9,000 for funeral costs. His funeral ended up costing over $14000 and it wasn’t even an extravagant affair. I don’t think people are really thinking about all the little details that go into planning a funeral for someone you love. When the time comes your so emotionally upset and they are telling you would you like the pine box for $4,000 or the nicely lined super deluxe box. You don’t want to rip off your recently deceased loved one so you spring for the nice one having no idea what it costs because you want the best. Its fine to want the best just make sure your family knows how much they have to work with.
