An Post Insurance Funeral Insurance is a life insurance policy which allows you to prepare financially for the cost - or part of the cost - of your funeral. By taking out this policy, you can ensure that you leave your loved ones some money to take care of the cost of your funeral - or to take care of other expenses.

Taking out a funeral plan can allow you and your family to be financially prepared for the costs of your funeral - as well as some of the bills that you may leave behind on your passing. Taking out an An Post Insurance Funeral Insurance will help you save your loved ones the worry and stress of financing your funeral at an emotional time.

An Post Insurance Funeral Insurance guarantees your loved ones a fixed lump sum on your passing. The level of cover is based on the age you commence your policy and the level of cover you choose. Premiums start at just €15 per month (including a 1% Government levy). 

For example, a 50 year old paying a premium of €15 per month would be assured for €4,700 after 2 years. A 62 year old paying a premium of €20 per month would be assured for €3,190. You can choose the level of cover you want - depending on the type of funeral you wish to have. The total premiums paid over the term of your policy may exceed the death benefit.

Depending on your circumstances and how much savings you have you may or may not have enough to cover your funeral costs. A well thought-out funeral insurance policy can fully cover or help supplement the costs of a funeral, depending on your preferred premium and choice of funeral arrangements.
