Does Life Insurance Cover Funeral Expenses? 
The right kind of life insurance can be used to cover a funeral . Do n't count on paying for your funeral with term life insurance or insurance through your employer . The term will usually end before you die . The employer insurance is not a good plan for funeral planning because most people live to retirement age which is after the employer insurance ends . For funeral planning either buy a prepaid funeral plan from a funeral home or make sure you have at least 10,000 of guaranteed whole-life insurance . Either of those will work fine .
