Burial insurance in Smyrna, Georgia
Smyrna is the part of Cobb County closest to Atlanta, just outside I-285. Because it is so close in, Smyrna families have many funeral homes and cremation providers to choose from, and prices vary a good deal by provider. The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral homes to give you an itemized price list, so you can compare. Even so, a funeral with burial in Georgia 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, means that comparing prices is the only job left to do. Leaf Cremation is about 25–35 minutes north in Acworth, and a licensed Georgia agent can call you.
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.
