Understanding Funeral Insurance
What is funeral insurance?
Funeral Insurance provides an agreed sum of money designed to help with costs that can come with a funeral. Funeral Insurance payouts are usually made quite quickly, giving your family one less thing to worry about if you pass away.
What does funeral insurance cover?
Medibank Funeral Insurance offers a lump sum cover to help your family manage the expenses in the event of death. The benefit is designed to assist with the cost of your funeral and other final expenses.
Medibank Funeral Insurance provides a lump sum payment only, meaning this insurance does not offer any funeral, burial or cremation services.
How much does a funeral cost?
The cost of a funeral can vary between $4,000 and $15,000. Funeral expenses will depend on the type of ceremony and services chosen to be carried out.

Guaranteed Application Acceptance
If you’re an Australian resident aged between 18 and 79 we guarantee to accept your application. And don’t worry, we won’t ask about any medical conditions.
Cover for a range of scenarios
After your first year of holding Medibank Funeral Insurance, the benefit is paid for death by any cause as well as diagnosis of a Terminal Illness (or reconfirmed diagnosis after 12 months). Whereas, during the first year, we’ll only pay the benefit for death or serious injury if it’s caused by an accident.
Accidental death
Your benefit triples – to up to $45,000 – if your death is accidental. Accidental Serious Injury Insurance is automatically included in your cover at no extra cost.
Premium cease at age 90
Premiums are waived from age 90 with no further premiums payable.
