Get Easy Approval Burial Insurance In New Jersey – 2022

New Jersey residents can get easy approval burial insurance today! There are multiple insurance companies that offer burial insurance in New Jersey at great rates. Now before we discuss companies and options let’s first discuss “what is burial insurance?”

What Is Burial Insurance In New Jersey?

Burial Insurance in New Jersey is actually called “final expense life insurance” and is a small whole life insurance policy that offers coverage amounts of $2,500-$50,000. These policies are meant to cover end of life expenses such as funerals, burials, or cremation services.

Folks refer to it as burial insurance because of their intention to use it to cover funeral and burial costs.

These policies may also be used to cover end of life expenses such as remaining medical or credit card debt. They may also be used to leave a gift for your children or grandchildren.

Now burial insurance in New Jersey is designed to be super-easy to qualify for and they offer simplified underwriting.

When you apply for a burial insurance in New Jersey, the application process comes with simplified underwriting and it requires no medical exam. Therefore, all you have to do is answer a few simple health questions.

Also, since there is no medical exam, there is no need for a blood sample, urine sample, or need for your doctors records when you apply.

These policies typically offer a quick approval process and you generally know if you have qualified a few days after you apply.

Again, the coverage amounts for burial insurance in New jersey typically range anywhere from $2,500 to $50,000 in coverage. However, in my experience, many folks buying burial insurance in New Jersey typically purchase policies for $10,000 in coverage.

The small coverage amounts burial insurance or final expense insurance offers makes premiums more affordable for folks on a fixed income.

Now with burial insurance in New Jersey, you may find that products vary on when the death benefit will be paid. When applying for a policy, it is important to know when the death benefit will be paid out according to the policy.

Typically, you will find your policy will offer 1 of the 3 following options:

• First Day Coverage
• Graded Death Benefit OR
• 2-Year Waiting Period With Return of Premium

Let’s explore how these options differ and which is the best option out of all three.

Burial Insurance With First Day Coverage Death Benefit

Final expense insurance products with first day coverage will the pay death benefit to your beneficiaries upon your death so long as the policy is issued and inforce.

There is no waiting period. Your loved ones can receive the full death benefit of your final expense insurance policy whenever you pass away.

When looking for burial insurance in New Jersey, you should aim to get a policy that offers first day coverage. It provides the most secure death benefit coverage on the market.

Now the second most common death benefit coverage available is a graded death benefit.

Burial Insurance With Graded Death Benefit

When you have a graded death benefit, the burial insurance policy pays only a partial death benefit if death occurs in the first 2 years of the policy. Once that 2-year period is over, the policy will pay 100% of the death benefit if death occurs at any time going forward.

Every year until the 2-year period is over, the death benefit gradually increases.

For example, the policy may offer 50% of the death benefit if death occurs in year 1 and 75% of the death benefit if death occurs in year 2. However, once the 2 year period is over, the policy will pay 100% of the death benefit if death occurs at any point going forward.

Now not all burial insurance policies with graded death benefits are created equal. The percentage of the death benefit the policy will pay out in year 1 and year 2 may vary based on the product.

Nevertheless however, you will find that many burial insurance policies with a graded death benefit pay the full benefit after year 2. You may also find that many of them pay the full death benefit in year 1 and year 2 IF it is an accidental death.

If you ever purchase a burial insurance policy with a graded death benefit, make sure you understand the policy terms regarding the death benefit.

There is one more thing that should be noted regarding burial insurance policies with a graded death benefit.

Burial insurance policies that offer graded death benefits typically ask less health questions during the application process than policies that offer first day coverage.

Therefore, a graded death benefit may be in your best interest if you were not healthy enough to qualify for a first day coverage policy.

Now let’s discuss the last death benefit option available on the market.

Burial Insurance With 2-Year Waiting Period & Return of Premium

Now burial insurance policies that have a 2-year waiting period with return of premium are pretty much the same as a graded death benefit. However, instead of paying a partial death benefit if death occurs in year 1 or year 2, a return of your premium plus interest is paid to your loved ones.

For example, some final expense insurance policies offer a return of your premium plus 10% interest if death occurs in the first two years.

However, just like the graded death benefit we previously discussed, 100% of the death benefit is paid if death occurs after year 2.

Now you will find that many policies that have a 2-year waiting period with return of premium are guaranteed issue products. That means these burial insurance products ask no health questions as your approval is guaranteed.

This is may be a good option if you are in really bad shape and cant qualify for any other policy.

That being said, let’s move on to accepted health conditions for burial insurance in New Jersey.

What Type of Health Conditions Can Be Accepted For Burial Insurance In New Jersey?

Burial Insurance or final expense insurance covers many common health conditions. For example, they may ask, “Have you ever been diagnosed with cancer in the last 5 years?”

Another question they may ask is “Have you been diagnosed with a heart attack in the last 24 months?”

Now the great thing about some of these questions is they are not looking far back into your health history

For example, if you were diagnosed with a heart attack 10 years ago and the application only asks if you were diagnosed with one in the last 24 months, then you may still be able to qualify for coverage.

These simple health questions and no medical exam is what helps to make burial insurance or final expense insurance so special!

That being said, here is a list of health conditions you may have that you may still be able to qualify for a final expense life insurance policy:

As you can see, this list is pretty exhaustive. According to the CDC (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention), the leading causes of health-related deaths in New Jersey are heart disease, cancer, and strokes.

Those conditions are on the list. Therefore, if you have survived any of these conditions in the past, final expense insurance may be within reach!

In addition to this, burial insurance is also very favorable when it comes to your build. If you are a person with a high body mass index (height to weight ratio) you may still be approved for these policies.

If you are a tobacco user (nicotine, cigars, chewing tobacco, etc.) you may also be approved for a burial insurance policy. The only difference is your rates may be a little higher if you are using tobacco. Nevertheless, you may still be able to get a policy!
