Why choose Funeral Cover with AA Life

It’s always hard when a loved one dies, but your family knowing they don’t have to face unexpected debts or costs can really help them cope at that time. Funeral insurance.

Funeral Cover is a simple, guaranteed acceptance insurance policy that can be used to pay for your funeral expenses and other associated costs, putting your mind at ease. Also included is an early payout for terminal illness and an additional accidental death benefit.

The illustration below can help you understand if Funeral Cover would benefit you in your circumstances.

Thankfully most of us don’t have to deal with funerals very often. Because of this, we don’t always realise how many decisions there are to make or costs to cover, from coffins to catering.

Creating a plan now will help give your family assurance that they are making the right decisions for you, and will help you understand how much cover you may need to buy.

We’ve put together an easy guide to help you make those decisions and share them with someone you trust.
