Burial insurance in Canton, Georgia
Canton is the Cherokee County seat. The county probate court is downtown in the Justice Center on North Street, and Georgia National Cemetery, run by the VA, is here too. For an eligible veteran, the VA provides burial there, but the funeral home's services are still a separate bill. That surprises a lot of families. In Georgia, a funeral with burial commonly runs $8,000–$12,000, and a cremation with a service $6,000 or more. Social Security's death benefit is $255. Burial insurance is a small whole life insurance policy that pays your family in days, and it can be used for any of those costs. Leaf Cremation is about 30 minutes away in Acworth. A licensed Georgia agent can answer questions by phone, with no visit required.
What it is, in one breath
Burial insurance, plainly.
A small whole life insurance policy — usually $5,000 to $25,000 — that pays cash directly to the person you choose. Your rate doesn't go up. The policy doesn't expire. Most people qualify, including with health conditions. It's also called funeral insurance or final expense life insurance; same thing.
Rates, coverage and qualification depend on age, health and the carrier. Your agent confirms the details of any policy before you apply.
