Burial insurance, also known as final expense insurance is a type of life insurance policy that covers the costs associated with end-of-life expenses, predominantly funeral arrangements, and burial expenses. Unlike traditional life insurance, which provides a broad range of financial protection to the beneficiaries, burial insurance offers a smaller benefit amount aimed specifically at ensuring that funeral costs do not become a financial burden on families. Premiums for burial insurance tend to be affordable, and the policies are tailored for ease of qualification, often with no required medical examination. An aging population increases the demand for burial insurance, coupled with rising funeral costs, making pre-planning more attractive. Also, the growing awareness of the financial burden associated with funerals is pushing more individuals to secure burial insurance policies, expanding the scope of the burial insurance market. However, the perception of burial insurance as an unnecessary expense among the population acts as a restraining factor for the market. Despite the restraining factors, technology adoption presents an opportunity to streamline processes and enhance customer experience. Lastly, partnerships with funeral service providers could create a more integrated approach to end-of-life planning, tapping into new customer segments.
