Chubb Life — funeral cover

Editorial provider profile

About Chubb Life

Chubb Life Insurance New Zealand Limited is the NZ life arm of Chubb Limited, an international general-insurance group. Funeral cover is typically offered as a rider on Chubb Life's main life products (LifeOne, LifeProtect) — adviser-distributed.

What they offer

  • Funeral cover as a rider on LifeOne / LifeProtect main policies
  • Range of life-insurance products — life, trauma, TPD, income protection
  • Adviser-distributed in NZ

Distinctive points

  • Backed by Chubb Limited — international general-insurance parent
  • Funeral cover bundled as a rider, not a standalone product
  • Adviser-distributed — best accessed via a FAP-licensed adviser
  • Cover sits within a broader life-protection product suite

What to compare on

  1. Standalone vs rider. Funeral cover as a Chubb Life rider behaves differently to standalone funeral cover from a direct insurer — make sure you understand which you're buying.
  2. Premium at your age and sum-insured. Quote via an adviser plus at least two other NZ insurers.
  3. Maximum entry age and cover amount. Confirm current limits with your adviser.
  4. Waiting period and exclusions. Read the wording document.
  5. Premium structure. Stepped vs level.
  6. Interaction with the main policy. If you cancel the parent policy, the funeral rider may also cease — check.

Where to quote

  • Through an FAP-licensed adviser — Chubb Life is predominantly adviser-distributed
