Funeral Costs in Rhode Island

Funeral expenses are high and vary from state to state with the national average being between $8,000 – $12,000.

According to funeralocity.com

The high price for a funeral is $6,095 with the low price being $2,890. Now, this is just an average the prices are set by funeral homes and can always vary in pricing.

This is why final expense insurance is so crucial to making sure your family has the peace of mind they deserve. You cannot expect your savings account to be enough for the burial or cremation.

Planning How Much Coverage you need

As a funeral consumer, the first thing you can do to make sure you have the right amount of coverage is to get a pricing brochure from the local funeral home. The funeral directors should be able to walk you through the pricing.

Once you know the exact amount of money your funeral is going to cost apply for your policy. So if your expenses are going to total $13,000 we recommend you get a policy with a $13,000 face amount and add on an additional $2,000 for extra cushion.

When you get a death benefit of this amount in place it should be enough to cover the whole funeral. Make sure you take all of your expenses into account including any outstanding debts, medical bills, mortgage balances, etc.

Rhode Island Burial Insurance & Financial Assistance

According to the Rhode Island Department of Human Services an amount up to $900 can be authorized to pay the funeral expenses for a child or adult. Any payments higher than that amount are going to have to be approved by an administrator of the RI GPA Program.

They would need documents to prove special circumstances and approve it.

Burial Insurance Underwriting

The best part about burial insurance in Rhode Island is that these are simplified issue plans.

What this means is that there is no medical exam or physical tests. You will not need to talk with a medical professional and have to run laps around your home or provide blood samples.

The only thing you need to do is answer some basic health questions on the carrier application. After this, the carrier will perform a Medical Information Bureau Health report and prescription check.

It will show the carrier that you are eligible for their products and services. If everything checks out you are approved in minutes right over the phone.

MIB Report

The Medical Information Bureau Report is a database where all of your medical information goes. The carrier looks at this using your Social Security Number and if nothing alarming comes up you are considered a low-risk applicant and get approved.

Prescription Check

Along with your MIB the carrier will check your prescriptions to make sure none of them match with any serious health conditions. They also understand some prescriptions have different purposes of why they are used.

If this is the case they will ask you about them during the application process. As long as you are answering truthfully you should still be approved.

It is important to note that you do not need to pass any kind of underwriting for things like accidental death riders. Accidental coverage is always instant approval, however, it only pays due to an accident.
