A Pre Purchased Funeral Plan has the advantage of knowing that the full cost of the funeral will be covered but an Over 50s life insurance will at least provide some funds to help towards the funeral costs. Not everyone can afford to pay a single sum to buy a pre purchased plan but the advantage of buying an Over 50s life insurance plan is that it can be tailored to your monthly budget. Over 50s life insurance could be the solution for you.

Full Cover after 1 year - One of the great advantages of the 50 Plus plan from LV= is that your cover will pay out in full if you die more than one year after your plan starts. If you were to die in the first 12 months of your plan starting, it may only pay out what you have paid in. It is this that allows us to be able to offer guaranteed acceptance without the need for a medical or health questions.
