How To Find Life Insurance Policies After Death? 
Unfortunately , I 've had some personal experience with this recently . The funeral director was very helpful , as he has worked with many life insurance companies over the years while helping families pay funeral charges for their loved ones . If you have the policy and do n't recognize the name of the life insurance company , you can search for the insurance company name online and will often be able to find out if it has a new name or owner . Call the claim department when you do find the company ; they are usually wonderful .
