Share the expenses you want help covering, your budget and any insurance you already have.
Review available options

Choose with the details clear
Review the insurer's documents, ask about anything unclear and discuss applying when you are ready.
This is general comparison guidance. Available options depend on the agency's offerings and your circumstances; this website does not compare every insurer.
A useful burial insurance comparison starts with the same assumptions. This guide helps you organize real quotes and understand their differences before choosing a policy.
Start with like-for-like quotes
Use the same proposed insured, state, coverage amount and premium payment frequency. A lower monthly amount may reflect a different benefit, different payment duration or different type of insurance. Ask each agent what assumptions the quote uses.
Separate term insurance from permanent coverage
Term insurance covers a stated period. Permanent life insurance is designed to continue longer when policy requirements are met. Do not compare the price alone: ask about duration, renewal costs and what happens if the insured lives beyond a term.
Check the full payment commitment
Record the quoted premium, payment frequency and how long payments are due. Ask whether premiums are guaranteed to stay level, whether the benefit can change and what happens after a missed payment. The policy terms control.
Compare benefit timing as carefully as price
Ask when coverage starts, whether an initial period limits benefits for certain causes of death, and what the beneficiary would receive during that period. A quick application or policy issue does not necessarily mean an immediate full death benefit.
Know who and what you are comparing
Ask for the legal insurer name, exact product and policy form. Ask Aurora which insurers and products it can actually offer in your state. This website does not rank every insurer or represent a comparison of the entire market.
Make the final comparison using the actual documents
Use the application, policy illustration where applicable and issued policy to confirm the details. A general explanation is not a binding offer. Review existing coverage before adding or replacing it, and ask about any applicable policy review or cancellation period.

Common questions
A clearer picture,
one answer at a time.
Start here, then bring your own questions. The details of a specific policy always matter.
Call (888) 753-8706What should I compare in two burial insurance quotes?
Compare the coverage amount, premium schedule, application requirements, exclusions and when full benefits apply. Make sure both quotes use the same applicant information and coverage amount.
Is the lowest monthly premium always the best choice?
A low starting premium is only one part of the decision. Consider future payments, the benefit amount, coverage duration and any limitations alongside what you can afford.
Are term life and whole life insurance the same?
Term insurance covers a defined period. Whole life insurance is designed for long-term coverage when its requirements are met and can build cash value. Review the specific policy's duration, costs and guarantees.
Does an active policy always pay the full benefit immediately?
No. Some policies have initial periods with restricted benefits for certain causes of death. The effective date and the date full benefits become available may be different.
Can I compare a new option with a policy I already own?
Yes. Have the existing policy details available for the conversation. Compare costs and benefits before making changes, and do not cancel current coverage before confirming replacement coverage and its terms.
Does this website compare every insurer?
This website offers general comparison guidance. An Aurora agent can explain the options the agency can offer for your circumstances. It does not claim to compare every insurer or guarantee the lowest price.

We are an insurance agency. Insurance policies are issued by the insurer named in the policy.
Burial and final expense insurance are life insurance. Coverage, eligibility, premiums, waiting periods and benefits depend on the insurer, product, state and individual circumstances. Policies are subject to their terms, conditions and exclusions. A quote or phone conversation does not establish coverage.
