Funeral Insurance When Terminally Ill... And Young

    Is this even possible or would I be excluded for having a very life-limiting illness? I'm young too, 33. Would this make a difference?

    I'm on an online UK based support group for people in the same position and people there have been able to get great funeral insurance plans for quite a small monthly payment. I'm just not sure if that is possible over here.

    I just don't want to burden loved ones with a huge funeral bill when I'm gone but I am so broke, I cannot save the funeral amount. I can however pay a monthly insurance premium if there is a lower cost one available.

    I know I probably seem lazy asking here but it's an emotionally overwhelming, daunting and pretty upsetting thing to think about.

    Hi Dara, I'm sorry you have this to deal with. I honestly can't say anything very useful, I have no idea. Is there anyone could pick up the phone for you and ask a broker? Then at least you would only have to ask once, rather than explaining over and over.

    My huz actually works in insurance but it's not a conversation I want to have with him. I may need professional advice.

    Sorry to hear. There are options for over 50, no medical / disclosure needed. Not sure for younger though

    Some credit unions provide good value funeral insurance. This one includes cover for pre existing conditions after 12 months. Might be worth checking out what your local CU offers.
