Misidentification of Remains
A family discovers their loved one was buried in the wrong casket after a mix-up. Professional liability covers the settlement and costs of rectifying the situation.

An elderly mourner trips on a carpet edge in the chapel and breaks her hip. General liability covers medical expenses and the resulting lawsuit.
Hearse Accident
Your hearse is rear-ended en route to the cemetery, delaying the burial. Commercial auto covers vehicle repairs and any injury claims.

A cooler compressor fails over a holiday weekend, causing damage. Property coverage with equipment breakdown covers the loss.
