Funeral insurance could give you and your family peace of mind for the future. You’ll pay monthly, fortnightly or annual premiums, and if you were to pass away, your loved ones could receive a lump sum payment to help cover the costs of your funeral or to settle your affairs.
Funeral insurance is one way to plan ahead and could take the financial strain off your family when they need it most. You might consider a funeral insurance policy if you’re an Australian resident aged 45 – 80, want to help your children financially when you pass away or are in retirement.
It’s simple and you could make your policy work for you. Choose to pay premiums for a fixed cover amount of $3,000 to $15,000. So, you can keep enjoying life’s possibilities now, and know your loved ones could get a lump sum for funeral cars and grave, clergy or chapel fees. Or to settle affairs, like outstanding debts.
It’s important to make your money go further. So, even though the amount you pay will depend on things like your cover level, payout amount, age, health and lifestyle. Once you’ve locked in your policy, your premium is calculated based on your age at the time you take our cover, and won’t go up as you get older.

Funeral insurance involves paying a premium (under Apia Funeral Insurance, this can be paid fortnightly, monthly or annually) to receive a certain payout at the time of the death of the life insured. Funeral Insurance payouts can be used to pay funeral expenses, but can also be used for any other purpose of the beneficiary's choosing. A pre-paid funeral plan involves speaking with a funeral director so you can plan and pay for your funeral in advance and is not insurance.
The amount of cover that’s right for you will depend on you, your family’s circumstances, and the type of funeral you or your loved ones would like to have.
Receiving a COVID-19 vaccination approved for use by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia will not affect the cover under your existing insurance policy. Apia Funeral Insurance policies do not include exclusions or limitations related to COVID-19 including vaccine related side-effects. If you were to experience sickness or injury after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination, a claim can still be lodged for a benefit under your policy and your claim will be assessed and is subject to the terms and conditions of your policy. This includes doctors, nurses, health professionals, police and people working in quarantine hotels and services.
