Los Angeles National Cemetery is closed to new gravesites, though a family member may sometimes join an existing grave. Its annex accepts new cremated remains burials only. Riverside National Cemetery is open for both casket and cremated remains, so families planning a casket burial often budget for the added transport.
The county Department of Public Health Vital Records office on North Figueroa Street issues certified copies for $26 each, in person, by mail, or online with a processing fee. Copies are available 10 days after the certificate is registered. Insurers ask for a certified copy with a claim, so families often order several.
Yes. Most policies let you name several primary beneficiaries with set percentages, plus contingent beneficiaries who receive the benefit if a primary has died. Some families split the benefit among children, while others name the one child who will handle the arrangements, so the money reaches the person paying the funeral home.
Generally, yes. A whole life final expense policy pays the death benefit wherever death occurs, subject to the policy’s terms, including any graded period. Bringing remains back to Los Angeles from another state or country can be costly, so some families include that possibility when choosing a coverage amount.
California requires life insurers to pay interest on a death benefit not paid within 30 days of the insured’s death, calculated from the date of death. Your beneficiary can move things along by filing the claim form and a certified death certificate promptly, which is where ordering copies early helps.
