Burial Insurance Market Overview

Burial insurance provides a death benefit designed to help cover funeral, burial, cremation, medical, legal, and other final expenses following the policyholder's death. It may include final expense, funeral, or memorial insurance and is generally structured as a form of life insurance with relatively smaller coverage amounts and simplified underwriting.

The market includes simplified issue, guaranteed issue, graded benefit, level benefit, and pre-need insurance products. These policies are distributed through agencies, brokers, direct sales, online channels, and funeral-service providers.
