Chubb Life LifeOne Funeral Cover vs Fidelity Life Funeral Cover (LifeProtect rider): Waiting period
Almost every NZ funeral insurance policy applies a non-accidental-death waiting period (commonly 12 or 24 months) before the full sum-insured pays. Death from accident is typically covered from day one. This is the single most important clause for buyers signing up while in poor health.
