Which fund covers unexpected expenses after the insured's death, such as travel and lodging for family members?

• A. Education funds
• B. Emergency Reserve Funds
• C. Retirement fund
• D. Bequests

Answer: (B)

When the insured passes away, families often face immediate, unexpected costs that require quick cash, such as travel and lodging for relatives. An emergency reserve fund is designed to provide liquidity for these unplanned expenses, helping the family cover them without depleting long-term savings or incurring debt. Education funds are for future schooling, retirement funds are for the policyholder’s later life, and bequests are assets left to heirs—not specifically for handling post-death expenses.
