Q: My father died and had 2 burial plan policies. 2 weeks prior to his death I went to the funeral home to review coverage
I was given copies along with a dated handwritten note stating both policy coverage amounts. Immediately after Dad died we called regarding his body to be picked up . After holding on phone while they checked they said OK he's covered. We told them we would call back when we were ready for them to actually come and transport him. Maybe 2 -3 hrs later we called for the pick up and shockingly were told that one of the policies had expired and the pickup was not covered and cost $250.00. Can they still be responsible for providing the coverage from that policy we were led to believe was valid ?
