Funeral cover
Question
Is funeral cover permissible in Islam?
Answer
Funeral cover is not permissible on account of it being an insurance plan. In all insurance schemes and contracts, the elements of gambling and interest are found. Hence, it is not permissible for one to take out funeral cover.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
