Burial insurance in Marietta, Georgia
Marietta is the Cobb County seat, so much of the paperwork after a loss runs through here. The Cobb County Probate Court is on Waddell Street near the Marietta Square, and the county's vital records office, which issues death certificates, is on County Services Parkway. Often a grown son or daughter makes those trips. Around metro Atlanta, 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, a small whole life insurance policy that pays your family in days, is one way to have that money ready ahead of time. Leaf Cremation is about 20–25 minutes up I-75 in Acworth, and a licensed Georgia agent can talk it through by phone.
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.
