What are the benefits of Real Guaranteed Funeral Insurance Flexi Plus?
Real Insurance has created their Funeral Insurance to be manageable and easy to apply for, so that you can be covered and protect your family from having to deal with outstanding financial obligations. Real Insurance is backed by the third largest reinsurer in the world, so you can rest assured that the company has experience, trust and knowledge behind them when they create their insurance products. The result is Real Guaranteed Funeral Insurance Flexi Plus, which offers:
Key benefits to understand
- The Real Payback Guarantee. When your family makes a funeral claim, the benefit they receive will always be the larger amount between your chosen cover amount or the total premiums you've paid. Or once you've turned 85, you can cancel your cover to receive an Early Cash Payout of 150% of your funeral insurance benefit.
- Early cash payout. Once you turn 85 you can receive an early cash payout if you cancel your cover. This is for 150% of your funeral benefit.
- Premium reduction every 5 years. Your premiums will reduce by 5% for every 5 years you hold your policy.
Additional benefits you can take advantage of
- Premium guarantee. Your premiums will never increase, unless you choose to change your cover.
- Your choice of cover amount. You can choose a benefit amount from $3,000 up to $15,000.
- 10% refund available. 10% of premiums paid are refunded once the first 12 months have been paid for.
- Triple death benefit payout for accidents. Your benefit triples in the event of Accidental Death which means you will receive a lump sum payment equal to three times your Benefit Amount, up to $45,000.
- Simple application with 30 day money back guarantee. If you are an Australian resident aged between 18 and 79 you can apply for Guaranteed Funeral Insurance Flexi Plus from Real with guaranteed acceptance, so you are not required to take any medical test or blood tests. Plus, if you do find for any reason that you’ve changed your mind, after you’ve applied you have a 30 day cooling off period which allows you to cancel your policy and receive a refund on all premiums you’ve already paid.
- Single and family cover. While you are taking out funeral insurance for yourself, don’t forget about the rest of your family – Real Insurance hasn’t. You can easily apply for a Single Plan, but you can just as easily add your partner and your dependent children to the policy (your child is covered until they reach the age of 21).
- Choose your premium frequency. You can choose to pay your premiums fortnightly or monthly and there is no extra charge added to your policy for your choice.
- Accidental Serious Injury Insurance at no extra cost. With Real Guaranteed Funeral Insurance Flexi Plus, you are automatically covered for a range of serious accidental injuries at no additional cost. This will provide you a benefit payout to help you manage expenses and ongoing financial obligations if you suffer one of the serious injuries outlined in the PDS.
While there’s nothing you can do to make your death and your funeral a less emotionally painful time, you can at least put plans in place to ensure your family are not burdened financially by your final farewell. With Real Funeral Insurance, you can help ensure that your loved ones are able to say goodbye the way they want to without having to worry about how much it’s all going to cost.
