    Medicare does not pay anything for funeral costs. It is important to purchase a final expense policy, either through a private insurance agency (allowing the benefit to be paid to your beneficiary and the proceeds beyond the cost of your funeral can go to other uses) or with a funeral home. The benefit of life insurance is paid quickly and tax free, allowing your loved ones to grieve your loss rather than worry about how to pay for your funeral.
