You may see references to âburial insurance,â âfinal expense insuranceâ or âfuneral insuranceâ when youâre buying life insurance. But burial insurance is simply a common way to refer to a small whole life insurance policy â generally $5,000 to $20,000 â thatâs purchased so beneficiaries have money to pay for a funeral. Not all life insurance companies sell whole life insurance policies in small amounts, but here are some that do.
Some states allow an individual to preâpay their burial by contracting with a funeral home and paying in advance for their funeral. You should discuss this with your local Social Security office. Generally, you and your spouse can set aside up to $1,500 each to pay for burial expenses. In most cases, this money will not count as a for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
