What’s the difference between life and funeral insurance?

A life insurance policy provides a sum insured to the beneficiary upon the death of the insured. The beneficiary can be a family member, friend or a bank if you have a mortgage. Life insurance can be taken out with a sum insured starting from €50,000, a capital sum that will provide your loved ones with money if you are no longer around.

In contrast, a funeral insurance policy offers you a complete and personalised service that covers all expenses related to the funeral and begins immediately from the time the company is informed of the death. If a person has a funeral insurance policy, their family members will have part or all of the insured’s funeral expenses covered and can thus be free of financial concerns and focus on what really matters at such a difficult time.

What happens if I am diagnosed with cancer shortly after taking out life insurance?

Cases of cancer diagnosed during the first six months of the insurance period are not covered.

Can I take out a life insurance policy knowing that I suffer from a degenerative disease?
