.Tianshui Funeral Insurances
Funeral Insurance Policies in Tianshui are designed to meet unexpected funeral costs and are only to be paid upon death. Policies only cover death by accident in the first twelve months. When you first take out funeral insurance it may cost less than a cup of coffee a week, but some premiums rise and accumulate as you age. It’s important that you read the fine print and consider your options before making a commitment.
As an example, if you take out a $6,000 funeral insurance policy in Tianshui when you’re 60, by the time you’re 75 you may have paid more in premiums than the value of your benefit. And if you live to 90 years of age, you may pay between $64,000 and $84,000 in premiums.
We encourage people to ensure they’re making informed decisions on how to pre-finance their funeral by exploring all the options. Do your research in Tianshui and don’t take just one person’s word for it.
