"The adverts are so corny I bet every granny feels guilty if they don't have one. Personally, I think it should be classed as a crime.
What having insurance or advertising it?"
That kind if advert. Sounds like blackmail. |

One of my relatives had it. Everyone was planned out and budgeted for. It made for an easy and smooth mourning period. The last thing you need is to worry about is money. |

Not something Id contemplate looking at thoroughly for quite a few years but I'm sure a few companies do a "Pay now die later" javascript:doSmilie('%20 ')deal on Funerals!

I had £500,000 worth of life insurance at one point.
I was sure Mrsdpt was trying to bump me off!
I get £225,000 cover through work so no need to have any extra.
But I really don't plan on it being cashed in anytime soon! |

I have life insurance which would cover it. What I never considered until my husband died suddenly with no plans for a funeral (why would he, he was 45) was what he wanted I didn't even know if he wanted to he cremated or buried. Plans and wishes right down to songs now sorted. It was a horrific time made worse by constantly thinking "would he want this " |

Sorry to hear of your personal tragedy.
I am thinking more along the lines of the granny who is constantly bombarded with these adverts. The emotional setback alone might end up hastening their demise.
Maybe the adverts should be put on a leash. |

I'm an over 50,s granny and I couldn't care less about the adverse, I either pay or I don't. My funeral arrangements are made but not paid for, I'm sure there will be the money in the pot to pay for it. I do want my free pen though

"Anybody actually benefited from it?
They avoid fraudulent claims by having a clause that says "all claims must be made in person"....

My parents have been lovely and sorted them both out so when the time comes I just have to call them up and not worry about the cost.
I've tried to see if I can do a pay monthly for myself but appears in not old enough to take one of these out, so I guess I best not die anytime soon!!

I'm definitely worth more dead than alive, mortgage cleared, house a fully realisable asset, death in service lump sum, survivors pension... |

My parents ( and other freind's parents) set this up:
" pay now, die later" it's perfect:
Once off payment, all requirements for funeral clearly laid down , right down to hymns, prayers, type of coffin , cars, printing , even newspaper announcements, the lot.
Just walk into undertakers with the policy number, death cert; and everything just happens; no decisions to be made,
No family rows about what the deceased " would have wanted"
Set one up for myself. |

I loathe those adverts running the guilt trips on the elderly.
As for me, I've no insurance like this and won't buy it. And I'd prefer the elderly to be able to afford to live better now. |
