Does Life Insurance Pay For Funeral? 
Yes , Life Insurance pays for funeral bills and any other expenses associated with final expense needs . The funeral life insurance policy can be purchased for any face amount with a relative or friend as the beneficiary , plus a collateral assignment to the funeral home . That way the funeral home will get what they are owed with the remainder going to your beneficiary . Having Life Insurance for funeral needs is handy because it not only can cover the funeral , but cemetery , transportation for special guests to get to the funeral , and other costs that are incurred upon death . In fact , the remainder of the death benefit can be used for anything at all that the beneficiary chooses to spend it on .
