What is the Funeral Benefit Option?
If you are taking out an Over 50s Fixed Life Insurance policy to help towards funeral costs, you can choose to add the Funeral Benefit Option. This means the cash sum paid out from a valid claim will be paid directly to Dignity Funerals Limited and a Dignity funeral director will take care of arrangements. It doesn't cost you anything extra to add the Funeral Benefit Option.
