Taxes on life insurance paid to funeral home?
With a properly named beneficiary there are no federal taxes on life insurance. What exactly are you asking in your question?
If a crooked funeral home withholds your insurance policy where you are the main beneficiary and signs your name and buries your loved one without your approval what can you do?
Signing your name to a policy without your permission is insurance fraud.

From there you can contact the regulatory agency that governs funeral home as well as the DA in your county.

How do you pay for funeral costs with a life insurance policy?
Well, a life insurance policy has to be funded, or paid into. Life insurance policies are not gifts of benevolent insurance companies. You have to put money in to get money out in the form of a death benefit. However, starting to plan NOW is the best time to begin, and that includes how "it" will be paid for. It's never too late.....until it's too late. ANSWER: My friend just lost his mom who had not one penny in life insurance benefits. So relatives are left holding the bag to pay for a cremation which was the least expensive way to go. So as said before, you only receive money to pay for a funeral if the deceased has insurance and stipulates a portion is to go for burial expenses. Laws even allow individuals to prepay for burial expenses.

She is not responsible for the medical bill as long as the didn't sign at the hospital saying she was the responsible party. Was the daughter the beneficiary of the life insurance policy? If the beneficiary of the policy was the estate of the insured then the hospital can file a lien against the estate and life insurance to cover the medical bills. If the beneficiary was a funeral home to pay for a prearranged funeral then the hospital cannot attach the policy proceeds. If the beneficiary was the daughter directly then the hospital cannot claim the life insurance proceeds. However, this leaves the daughter with no obligation to use the entire amount for funeral arrangements.

Funeral homes sell burial insurance policies but you are much better off buying a regular life insurance policy and using part of the benefits to pay for funeral costs.

Funeral homes make extremely high commissions on the sales of these policies, the beneficiary and owner of the policy is probably the funeral home as well so you can't change your mind later and make any changes in the policy.
