Receive a benefit of up to $15,000 with InsuranceLine Funeral Insurance.
You may think you’d gotten away with throwing the last big party of your life when you drove off into the sunset after your wedding, but there is one last showdown to come when you require a funeral. There are countless costs involved in death, from the cemetery fees, medical costs, the procession and the wake, you don’t want to leave your family to struggle to pay for these when you’re gone.
Instead, consider the new funeral insurance policy from Insurance Line, which has been revamped to make it more relevant and valuable, and includes:
- A fast funeral payout: The benefit from your InsuranceLine funeral plan will generally be paid to your beneficiaries within 24 hours of a claim being completed.
- Up to $15,000 of cover: You can choose any benefit amount which suits you, from $2,000 up to the value of $15,000 which is paid as a lump sum and can be spent in any way your family needs to.
- Accidental death benefit: If you die as the result of an accident, the benefit amount of your funeral insurance can double, to a maximum, of $30,000 paid to your family. From the time your policy is approved you are covered for accidental death, while your family cannot make a claim for death by any other cause in the first 12 months.
- Guaranteed level premiums: Your funeral insurance premiums are guaranteed never to increase on your policy and are calculated based on your age and circumstances when you apply. Therefore, the sooner you apply, the lower your premiums will be over the course of your policy.
- Choice of payment frequency: You can choose to pay your funeral insurance premiums fortnightly, monthly or annually, according to your cash flow needs.
Enhance your InsuranceLine Funeral Cover with additional options
InsuranceLine also offers you the option to add extra protection to your funeral insurance cover, with the choice of:
- Extra accidental death cover: You can increase the benefit amount for accidental death to $50,000 so that you know your family will be taken care of if you die suddenly as the result of an accident.
- Accidental injury cover: You don’t have to die to benefit from funeral insurance with InsuranceLine, because you can add accidental injury cover, for a lump sum benefit of $50,000 if you suffer a serious or permanent injury.
You can apply for funeral insurance with InsuranceLine if you are 21 to 80 years old, and when you turn 90, your cover will continue for free with no further premiums.
