Can One Purchase Burial Insurance For Elderly Parents? 
Yes you can although some carriers may require the insured to pay . In my experience , it is usually fine for the child to own the policy and be the beneficiary as well . Most of these policies are without an exam but will require the proposed insured to answer several health questions in order to qualify . You should also be aware that while different states will not be an issue , finding coverage over 85 can be very difficult , especially at small amounts .
