Funeral Insurance in NZ

Talking about death isn’t easy. It’s not something that we think about on a daily basis, as it can be a very uncomfortable thought. However, life moves in unexpected directions, and unfortunately some people find their time unceremoniously cut short by unexpected circumstances. Funeral insurance helps plan for these types of situations, should they ever arise.

Funeral insurance is also known as ‘burial insurance’ or ‘preneed insurance’. It’s designed to cover the costs of the policy holder’s burial or cremation. Funerals, after all, can cost several thousand dollars depending on the factors involved. A funeral insurance policy can help families deal with the financial burden that arises after a sudden departure. It covers the costs of expenses such as funeral home services, church services, and even funeral merchandise.

A funeral insurance plan can also offer protection against inflation with insurers constantly researching and checking the market for funeral-related services. With funeral expenses rising every year, it’s best to plan ahead by taking out an insurance policy. At glimp, funeral insurance comparison in NZ is made easy, and we’ll help you find the best deal for your needs in just a few minutes.

Funeral insurance vs. life insurance

Just by the sound of it, and the fact that both policies are designed to help your loved ones cope with your untimely passing, funeral insurance sometimes appears to overlap with life insurance. However, both policies have distinct differences from each other:

Life insurance is a broader category of insurance that covers many kinds of expenses. It’s often treated as a long-term investment, with a swathe of different options available depending on your needs. Life insurance is meant to provide for your family’s needs by ensuring there is enough money for them to use to settle any debts or pay for other expenses.

On the other hand, funeral insurance is meant to cover the costs of your burial as well as other end-of-life expenses, such as outstanding medical bills and even credit card debt. It’s meant for short-term expenses, so it’s usually given as a lump sum payment. It can be a bit limiting in terms of what it offers when you compare it with life insurance, but given how costly funeral expenses can be, it can still be very helpful.

Ultimately, both insurances can offer you the peace of mind of knowing that your family is able to financially cope with your passing, allowing them to sort out any final affairs you may have lingering around.

Types of funeral insurance

This is often offered as part of a whole life policy paid out to the holder’s beneficiaries at the time of their death. Coverage typically includes funeral home services, transportation, a casket, headstone, or even cremation and its corresponding merchandise. Additionally, any funds leftover from the policy after all these expenses are accounted for can be used by the holder’s loved ones to use for other final expenses, like medical bills or mortgages.

Pre-need funeral insurance is paid out to the funeral home instead of a beneficiary. It helps people handle inflation by allowing them to pay for funeral services that may cost more in the future. Unlike standard funeral insurance, pre-need funeral insurance does not give your beneficiaries the excesses on your policy.

Choosing which type of funeral insurance plan is the best fit for your needs will depend on a range of factors, such as the amount of cover you need, whether you have any beneficiaries that could use the financial assistance, and the cost of funerals in your area. Finer details like these significantly shake up cost-efficiency, making funeral insurance comparison in NZ a bit more complicated.

Much like shopping, always compare your plans and conduct research on all the options in your area. Our comparison tool can help you with that, but when it comes to choosing the right policy, it’s entirely in your hands.

I was a little hesitant to stay on the call when I first picked up but I’m glad I stayed until I did. Josua Legavai was the lovely lady taking care of me. She was so friendly, clear and helpful. She helped me understand everything I needed to and explained everything with great detail. I am still young and learning and have just moved into a new home with my son so I’m grateful she was able to help me today.

I'm so happy I asked Glimp for help, to find a service provider that suits our family's budget, without losing quality and unlimited data on both our mobile phones and broadband. Mele Falahola is a Comparison Specialist from Glimp and she was amazing from the beginning. Mele located the right service provider for our needs that will save us money!, fulfil our usage and more! compared to what we were using. My wife and I even asked for a comparison on our electricity bill. Mele responded immediately once she saw our monthly bills and compared it to another provider that not only do not required a contract to stick too (like the mobile and broadband provider Mele recommended) but their price per kWh was so much better! Which is why we changed that also. Thank you Mele and Glimp for your help. We can now look forward to our Christmas holiday in the Cook Islands from what we can now save. :-)
