Funeral costs in the UK are now becoming very expensive. In fact the average cost of a funeral according to new research is around£2,733. Not cheap is it? So why not cover the cost of a funeral with a life insurance policy. A plan like this could really help your family as you don’t want them to bear any of these types of costs. Plus, there are many other benefits to a policy as well.

The average funeral costs don’t include extras such as catering, notices and flowers, it’s a basic funeral. Having a life insurance policy, only costs around 20p a day with most insurers, and most of them will give acceptance on to their policy without having a medical or answering any health questions. So it’s a really inexpensive way to leave your family and loved ones some money and help with funeral costs.

Another good point about life cover is that you don’t need to worry about leaving unpaid bills, or leaving cash for loved ones. Once you start paying into a plan for a couple of years you’ll get a cash fixed sum when you die. All plans pay out different but all money will be paid out in the first year that you die.

There many plans to look at such as the AXA life insurance policy, it’s currently been a successful policy for around 700,000 people, and they are one of the more popular insurers. They have many policies but one that they offer is the guaranteed over 50 plan, in conjunction with AXA Sun Life.

All life cover policies should be looked at by an independent advisor to help guide and select a policy. Always read the terms and conditions before purchasing a policy.

You should know that sometimes paying in to a policy like this depending on how long you live could end up that you pay more money in than you will get out.
