Losing a loved one is an emotional and challenging time, and financial burdens should be the last thing on your family's mind. Funeral insurance will ease these worries by covering funeral expenses and other final costs. 

Did you know, in New Zealand, the cost of a modest funeral generally falls between $8,000 and $10,000, as reported by the Consumer NZ and the report done by Ministry of Health in 2019. However, these expenses can fluctuate depending on factors like timing, location, the type of service, and the selection of a casket or headstone. Additionally, funeral expenses are increasing. Funeral Insurance provides your family with a fast lump sum payment upon your passing, so your family can quickly cover funeral expenses and other final costs.

The advantage of Funeral Insurance is its prompt payout, giving your family the flexibility to use the funds as needed. Whether it’s for the funeral service, outstanding bills, or immediate mortgage or loan repayments, your family can use the funds where they are most needed.

At Dollar Insurance we try and make funeral insurance as painless as possible: Straightforward cover. Quick purchase. Designed to be easy on the wallet. This allows your family to focus on honouring your memory without the added stress of financial concerns.
