Fulton County
Burial insurance in Roswell, Georgia
Roswell is in north Fulton, along the Chattahoochee River. Fulton County is large, and some of its offices are a long way from here. The probate court, which handles wills and estates, is downtown on Pryor Street in Atlanta. Death certificates are easier: the county's new north health building in Alpharetta has a vital records office. Often it is a grown son or daughter who makes these trips while also paying for the funeral. 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, a small whole life insurance policy that pays your family in days, takes the money question off their list. Leaf Cremation is about 35–45 minutes away in Acworth.
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.
