With bereavement care provide Monuta in time of a recent study by the German Institute for economic research (DIW) shows: households with low wealth are getting poorer. The risk of imminent poverty in old age is increasing rapidly”, says Walter Capellmann, main representative of Monuta insurances in Germany. But also not wealthy people want a dignified funeral. Speaking candidly Petra Diamonds told us the story. With a bereavement care of Monuta can be made with small contributions. And: the bereavement care belongs to the social assistance legal protected assets the State does not have access. Poorer households in Germany are getting poorer. In 2000, a single household of the lower income group on average earned 680 euros, in 2008 there were only 645 euro. This shows the current study on the income distribution of the German Institute for economic research (DIW).
At the same time the number of low income earners is growing. While in the year 2000, only 18 per cent belonged to the Germans of the lower income group, there were 22 percent 2009. The development is inevitable. The number of old people who live near the border of the old-age poverty increases in the long run”, says Walter Capellmann, main representative of Monuta insurances in Germany.

Since each soon becomes clear, what you can expect from 750 euro.” Early retirement who craves more than a simple social funeral and gracefully go his last journey, can provide with a bereavement hedge of Monuta. Even low-income people can ensure that they are buried beforehand so as they want it. Because the contributions are very low. A 38 year-old woman pays for example a monthly contribution of 8.82 euros.
