We're here to provide peace of mind
Help your family and loved ones focus on the things that matter rather than worrying about the minuscule details of planning a funeral. Eirene helps you plan ahead so you can give your family the space to grieve the loss and celebrate life instead of trying to figure out how to honour final wishes.
When someone passes away, the bereaved are often left to make decisions they aren't prepared for, during a time that they should be spending with loved ones. By taking the time to plan ahead, you can help ease your family’s financial and emotional burden following a death.
Reduce Financial Burden
Thinking ahead can pay off - especially when it comes to funeral arrangements. The average funeral can cost anywhere between $5,000 - $15,000, and sometimes, even more, depending on how simple or elaborate the send-off the deceased will be.
Keep your loved ones protected from any unexpected expenses - through our easy-to-navigate funeral insurance product. Backed by a guarantee, our partners at TruStage are a Fortune 500 company that has helped Canadians navigate the end-of-life space since 1902.
Funeral insurance is a set sum of money left to your beneficiaries that is meant to cover the expense of any funeral arrangements. When you pre-arrange with Eirene and TruStage, the money you set aside is paid directly to Eirene for the package price that you locked in upon signing. Any left over funds are then handed over to your designated beneficiaries. Spare yourself and your loved ones of any extra, unneeded financial burden by pre-arranging your funeral today.
No Surprises.
Cremation and funeral arrangement costs have nearly doubled over the last 10 years - with no signs of slowing down. With Eirene’s pre-arrangements, you lock in today’s price for our services in the future. Accessing your funeral insurance needs through our platform is entirely self-serve. That means no upselling or sales tactics.
Our insurance product helps you cover any funeral costs at Eirene and lock in the price of our package now, helping you avoid rising funeral costs.
Going Beyond Life Insurance.
While many Canadians have purchased a life insurance policy, there are some differences between funeral insurance and life insurance. While the beneficiary of your life insurance policy can certainly put some of the proceeds they receive towards paying off your funeral or cremation, these funds are generally meant to be allotted for covering your survivor's broader needs.
From living expenses, income replacement and more, life insurance is meant to help those the deceased leaves behind with peace of mind for their day-to-day living. It also can take several weeks to receive any funds from life insurance upon the loss of a loved one.
Final expense insurance, on the other hand, pays out within 48 hours and is meant to be spent specifically on any funeral arrangements. This means that the burden of carrying any costs associated with a funeral or cremation needs will not be on your loved one, and they can immediately access any insurance funds that you have set aside for them.
You Get to Choose.
No matter how you wish to be memorialized: with a wake, a celebration of life or nothing at all, there are still expenses to consider. You will need to be cremated or buried, both of which carry their own costs.
For example, you may choose a memorial or a celebration of life over a traditional funeral. Someone in your life, a loved one or a partner will have to carry the costs of arranging and hosting the memorial. Costs can range depending on caterers and the space they hold the memorial at and more.
Let Eirene manage your, or your loved one’s cremation so you can take the time to plan a fitting memorial.
Funeral insurance can help alleviate these costs. Start pre-arranging today.
