Why stop at life insurance what about burial insurance? Back in the days every Jew was part of a Chevra Kedushah which took care of the burials. Now a days hardly anyone is a member. The cost just for a burial plot can be as high as $50,000.00 in some places both in Israel and in Brooklyn. Add at least another $10,000 for taharah and other funeral expenses. The cost back then was $20.00 a year per family a lot cheaper then any life insurance policy.
Yes there are charities that will bury the poor, but just as you are trying to convince people to buy life insurance so to0 should they buy burial insurance. What happens to the deceased if they don’t have a burial plot or the cemetery is closed or there are no flights to Israel, due to the pandemic. I guess they just have to wait.
