1,000s of Brits are taking advantage of Insurance to help cover their funeral costs in the UK

Savvy Brits are taking out life insurance to help prevent financial hardship on their loved ones.

  • Many will have to borrow money to cover funeral fees, as ‘funeral poverty’* increases.
  • Costs expected to rise substantially in the coming years.*
  • Brits are putting life insurance in place.
  • Costs less than you think.


    Many people are unaware of the crippling rising cost of funerals and are leaving extra stress to their loved ones. In an article by the ITV News after a freedom of information request revealed that a quarter of hospital trusts in England have held bodies for three months or more, as families could not afford the cost of a funeral.

    Check your eligibility for life insurance

    While death continues to be a taboo subject, it’s important that families discuss funeral arrangements and other final expenses so that they are prepared when the time comes. Otherwise, bereaved parties could end up paying over the odds for a funeral or other costs which the deceased might not even have wanted.

    With costs expected to rise substantially in the coming years, taking life insurance now to help protect your loved ones makes sense.
