There can be countless costs involved in death. From the cemetery fees, medical costs and the funeral service; you don't want to leave your family struggling to pay for these when you're gone. Instead, consider a funeral insurance policy from Insuranceline.

Our Verdict:

  • Insuranceline's owner TAL has a policy cancellation rate of just 4.9%, which is lower than the industry average of 6.7%, according to recent Moneysmart figures.
  • Insuranceline doesn't set a maximum expiry age limit and so your policy won't end as long as you keep up with your payment plan. This isn't the case with Medibank or Real Funeral Cover.
  • You can't add a terminal illness option to your plan. Terminal illness cover pays a benefit if you're diagnosed with an illness you won't recover from.

What won't the Insuranceline Funeral Insurance policy cover?

For the first 12 months of your policy, cover is provided for accidental death only, so death by any other cause during this period will not be covered.

  • Actual or attempted self-inflicted injury or suicide
  • Participation in illegal or criminal activity
  • Being under the influence of alcohol or any drug not prescribed by a medical practitioner
  • War, hostilities or war-like operations, whether it's declared or not, outside of Australia or New Zealand. Note: This does not include terrorism.
  • Working in a dangerous occupation, e.g. in an underground mine or as a window cleaner above 20 metres
  • Participating in dangerous activities e.g. professional sports, hang gliding, motor sports, diving to depths of more than 30 metres underwater
  • Flying in an aircraft (except as a fare paying passenger or aircrew on a licensed commercial aircraft)
