Insuranceline funeral insurance: 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.
