Burial insurance (aka funeral insurance) is a basic issue life insurance policy that covers people's burial expenses.

Does Medicare or Medicaid help with funeral expenses?

NO. I say again, NO! SS only pays less than $300 at death. You need Final Expense insurance for pennies on the dollar to pay for the funeral, tombstone, grave site, graveside service, medical bills, probate, estate taxes, etc, etc. If you don't, you leave that financial Burden with your family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My original answer that Medicaid covers funeral expenses still stands. This is a state by state thing. Some states do and some don't. Indiana Medicaid does pay for SOME funeral expenses; body burial and cremation. The Indiana Medicaid coverage for a body burial is insufficient to cover those costs. Indiana recently raised their maximum for cremation. One cremation company based in Indianapolis will accept the Medicaid money and include an urn without any costs to the family. For information on funeral expenses you may want to take a look at the web site Funerals and Ripoffs. You will be surprised when you read the documented facts about the funeral industry and the site will show you how to save money in planning the funeral. funerals-ripoffs.org

What is the concept behind life assurance?

At the very least, the reason for life assurance is to allow your survivors money to take care of your funeral and any other issues surrounding your death. To put it bluntly, you want to do the responsible thing and not inconvenience anyone or have anyone come out of pocket with expenses that are necessary surrounding your death. If you want to do more than that and you have the money, you may want to leave memorial to your church, a charitable organization , or your family. A benefit of life assurance is that is payable immediately upon proof of death. What that means to your survivors is that they by-pass the time-consuming probate system.

Is it appropriate to ask family for donations for living expenses when they don't even try to work?

It is up the the person, but I would say that yes it is appropriate to ask a family member living with you for money to help pay the expenses. It might help them to try to find work. But that would have been a good thing to settle before letting the family member move in with you. If you didn't do that, it is still appropriate. Simply explain that there is an expense in having one or more extra people in the house, and that you think a certain amount of money per week or month would help in paying the expenses for food and other things.
