Throughout our lives we prepare for many things. We try and make plans for our studies, holidays, marriages and careers. But there's one important matter that most of us forget to plan for, which is sadly certain to come and cannot be avoided...
Death.
A recent study by YouGov found that
only 6% of UK adults have made any financial preparations for their funerals. This is in contrast to many other European nations where end-of-life planning is standard. In the Netherlands, 70% of people have financial plans in place for their funerals, while 20 million Spaniards have funeral insurance policies in place for that necessary peace of mind.
This lack of planning creates potential problems for many families and loved ones in the UK.
Because when the time comes and planning is no longer an option, many families are having to borrow or ask for donations to pay for the funeral costs. Some of these families end up burdened with years of debt because of all the costs involved in a funeral. As one of the biggest scandals in recent years, the unregulated funeral industry
has been exploiting this for decades because they know they can charge families any price they want at a stressful and difficult time. As a result, their rates have been growing excessively over the years.
In fact, the average total cost of dying in the UK has reached
an astronomical £9,493 per person, having increased 130% over the past 15 years, according to the latest 2020 SunLife Cost of Dying Report. That’s the highest it’s ever been. Many families are suprised at such a high average cost of a funeral and how steeply it has been rising.
However, the good news is that all these unbelievably high costs can be easily avoided.
How? By taking out an affordable life insurance policy. Not only it is a lot cheaper, but it is also easier and faster to arrange than you might think.
Would you like to protect your loved ones against expensive and rising funeral costs? Get an affordable senior life insurance policy. It is certainly worth it because it is so important.
By not taking care of this in advance,
serious financial consequences and unnecessary additional stress would be inflicted upon your grieving loved ones at an already difficult and stressful time.
On the other hand, senior life or funeral insurance policies offer tax-free payouts, premiums that never increase over time and benefits that never decrease. With premiums starting from as affordable levels as only a few pennies per day, it is one of the cheapest and smartest ways to leave a sum of money to your loved ones, rather than make them to take on an unnecessary debt to help pay for funeral and other costs.
With so many life insurance and funeral insurance options to choose from - how do I know which one to choose?
Arranging one is really easy and the sooner you take out the policy, the more beneficial the premium rates are going to be. So it is in really important to lock in an affordable premium level as soon as possible so that it won't grow over time.
In its 2019 CMA Funerals markets study, the UK government found that the price of essential elements of a funeral has increased twice as fast as inflation over the past 14 years. With proper insurance coverage, your relatives will be protected by a major insurance company from this increasingly heavy burden.
Many people are starting to realise this and are now rushing to purchase
a cost-effective funeral or life insurance policy that covers their beneficiaries against funeral costs, helps pay off debts or other expenses within the limit of coverage purchased.
Thankfully, no medical exams are required to qualify and acceptance is guaranteed for UK residents of all ages.
