💡 What Is Cremation Insurance?

Cremation insurance is a type of final expense insurance specifically designed to cover the costs of cremation and related services after you pass away. It ensures your loved ones won’t be left scrambling to pay for everything out of pocket — during what will already be a difficult time.

In most cases, cremation insurance is a small life insurance policy — usually between $2,000 and $20,000 — that can be used to pay for:

  • Cremation service fees

  • Urns or keepsake jewelry

  • Funeral home costs

  • Memorial services

  • Travel expenses for the family

  • Other end-of-life bills or debts

This is not a prepaid plan; it’s real insurance that provides flexibility, peace of mind, and immediate payout to your family.

💰 Why It Matters in Tampa Bay

In Florida, the average cost of a basic cremation ranges from $1,500 to $4,000. If you include a viewing, memorial, or burial of the urn, the total price can increase to $6,000 or more.

Here in the Tampa Bay area — especially in cities like Clearwater, Wesley Chapel, St. Petersburg, and Brooksville — most funeral homes require full payment before services are performed.

Without cremation insurance, your family may be left with:

  • Unexpected out-of-pocket costs

  • The stress of setting up a GoFundMe

  • Delays in planning your final arrangements

A small, affordable policy through MyPHSS can take that burden off their shoulders.

🧾 What Does a Cremation Insurance Policy Cover?

Your cremation insurance payout can be used however your loved ones need. Most families use it for:

  • Direct cremation services

  • Cremation with viewing or ceremony

  • Cremation urns and personalized memorial items

  • Funeral home coordination fees

  • Transporting remains

  • Final medical or legal expenses

  • Outstanding debts or utility bills

Because it’s a cash payout, your beneficiary has the flexibility to use it as they see fit.

🙋 Who Should Consider Cremation Insurance?

Cremation insurance is a great fit for:

  • Seniors aged 55 to 85

  • Those on fixed or limited incomes

  • People who prefer cremation over traditional burial

  • Individuals without savings set aside for end-of-life expenses

  • Anyone who wants to leave their family with less stress and more peace of mind

At MyPHSS, we help individuals from all walks of life — including retirees, veterans, and working seniors — find the best policy for their needs and budget.

✅ No Medical Exam Required

Most cremation insurance policies do not require a physical exam. Instead, you may be asked a few basic health questions. These help us match you with the right company and the most affordable rate.

If you have a serious health condition — like heart disease, cancer, or diabetes — you may still qualify through a guaranteed issue plan, which asks no health questions at all.

Plans are available with:

✔ Low monthly premiums
✔ Immediate or graded death benefits
✔ Lifetime coverage as long as premiums are paid
✔ Fixed rates that never increase

Because we don’t need your number to give you a quote!

Other insurance agents ask for your number because they believe if they don’t have it, you will go to someone else and they will lose the sale. We don’t use sales tactics like that, if you can find a better price from someone else we want to you to go to them. Save money, that is the whole point of our business.

Nothing, if you decided to buy a policy and we are the writing agent the insurance company will pay us a commission for that sale. The price of your policy does not change because of that.

Before COVID-19, we operated several local offices in the Tampa Bay area. Like many small businesses, we closed our doors during the pandemic and transitioned to working remotely for the safety of our staff and clients.
