How we paid £0 out of pocket for my wife’s funeral*

Read the full story below…

Older couple planning their finances together

So how did we pay for my wife’s funeral?

We received a payout from her guaranteed acceptance life insurance policy. It helped us cover the funeral costs. At a difficult time, it gave our family one less thing to worry about.

As people get older, many become concerned about the unexpected funeral costs.

Many want to leave something behind

for their loved ones and look for an option that suits their age and budget, without medical exams or complicated paperwork to apply.

For those on a limited income,

saving enough is not always possible. Many don't want their family to worry about paying for final expenses. Due to age or health conditions, underwritten life insurance may not be an option.

We found a solution…

with affordable monthly premiums, guaranteed acceptance, and a payout of up to £10,000, depending on age at the time of application.

Over-50s life insurance…

is available to UK residents aged 50 to 80 and is designed to help cover funeral expenses and leave a gift for loved ones.
