My mother’s ashes sit in a magnificent urn here in our living room in Hillsboro Oregon OR. Can I include it in my home insurance?
Catherine
Hillsboro, OR
Technically, Catherine, no one can put a cap to the things and properties you want to insure. If they have insured Mariah Carey’s legs, then surely your mother’s ashes can well be insured, too. Insurance companies in Hillsboro Oregon will include this with the personal belongings coverage. This coverage insures all the contents of your home, based of course on your declarations. If you want to avail of this coverage, you will need to do a home inventory, which literally means to perform an inventory of your home inch by inch, and giving out the list to your insurer in Hillsboro Oregon. This list determines your premiums so you can expect to get higher premiums for longer lists, or a list with a lot of valuable items in it.
Going back to your mother’s ashes, there is a system that can insure the urn with the ashes but it will be very tricky to put a value to it. You can probably easily assess the urn, but how about the ash? The truth of the matter is, Catherine, you can insure the ash and the urn for as high as you want to, just be prepared to pay the premiums associated with it. To get sample computations of home insurance premiums, you can try taking the short quiz at the top of this page. Though you may not find provisions for ashes in that quiz, I am sure that you can find a way to get the value you want. At the end of the quiz, five free quotes will be given out to you which you can analyze at your own sweet time.

Home Insurance Coverage Northwest Clackamas Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
My wife is so fond of collecting odd mementos from the places we travel to. For example, she bought this mask made of clay from somewhere in Asia, and she’s gotten attached to it although it costs nothing. She was joking the other night that if there was something that needs to be insured, it’s those masks. Can we really include unique items like that in our home insurance in Northwest Clackamas Oregon OR?
Jonas
Northwest Clackamas, OR
I know why you are asking, Jonas, and correct me if I am wrong. You are asking if you can include in your home insurance this piece of furniture that actually costs nothing but means the world to your dear wife. Most definitely, Jonas, yes you can. If you can insure parts of the body of certain celebrities, so can you enroll odd items from your trips to Asia. You just have to be prepared on how you will appraise it. The idea of home insurance, remember, is to provide you with a financial plan to help you restore your home when it is subjected to natural or man-made disasters. So how can you really restore something like what you have described? Obviously you need to take into account the time and fare you spent going to the place where you bought it (although I can debate that the purchase of the mask is incidental). The bottom line of all of these is that whatever value you may assign to your properties in Northwest Clackamas Oregon OR will be what is used for the calculation of your home insurance premiums. And you know, Jonas, just so you’ll be aware right away, home insurance premiums are directly proportional to the value of the property or items being insured. Therefore if I were you, I would think twice before including these masks in my home insurance policy.
But just to complete the exercise, you might want to log on to our home page, by entering your Northwest Clack Oregon OR zip code so you can get an idea how much premiums the masks will fetch. Better yet, you might want to look around Northwest Clackamas Oregon OR and neighboring towns for masks that your wife might like too, to make things less complicated.

Home Insurance Rates Eugene Oregon OR
Reader’s Question:
I need to reduce my home insurance premiums in Eugene Oregon OR but when I approached my insurer, she seemed unsympathetic to the cause. What’s wrong with her?
Lillian
Eugene, OR
Yes, Lillian, I’d have to agree with you on this one. Something is wrong with her if she didn’t fulfill her duty of accommodating you, or if what you were asking of her was beyond her powers, she should have at least discussed the options you have. Because you have options, dear, that is a clear fact. And the easiest would be to make your home less risky by incorporating some improvements in your home.
One of the risks considered when you apply for home insurance in Eugene Oregon OR is the probability of your house catching on fire. So if you reduce this probability, you reduce the risks to your home. You can do this by improving your wiring and electrical system, or installing smoke detectors, even installing fire extinguishers would help. Another risk is the probability of a B & E – breaking and entering, or having someone steal something from your home. So, you can increase your home’s protection from theft by installing security devices such as an alarm system and the like.
These are the things that should have been explained to you by your Eugene Oregon OR insurer. If you’d want to change insurers or simply want to know how much your new home insurance premiums will be (after you’ve done your improvements), you can plug in your zip code at the top of this page and get free quotes.

Reader’s Question:
Hi there! I’m currently shopping for a home insurance policy here in Salem Oregon OR and I’m still deciding if I want to also purchase additional living expense coverage. Is it okay for me to purchase this along with my home insurance?
Miko
Salem, OR
You really are about to make an important decision when it comes to home insurance policies in Salem Oregon OR. Answers and opinions may vary, but if you ask me, I strongly suggest that you include additional living expense in your policy.
Let me give you a scenario. When your house is damaged by fire or flood or something you’d say “it’s okay, my insurance will cover repair costs and stuff”. But then, what if your house is really damaged that you can’t live in it for months until the repairs are done? You have to live somewhere else, right?
The thing is, when this happens in Salem Oregon OR, you have to look for and pay for the place where you’ll be temporarily living. You also probably have to rent appliances and home equipment while you’re at it. That’s unexpected cost right in front of you, and that’s not covered by your regular home insurance policy.
So, to help you in case something like that happens, you should probably include that additional coverage, just in case. Start your shopping by simply typing in your zip code right here and get a list of reliable home insurance policy providers in Oregon.

Reader’s Question:
I am from Salem Oregon OR and my fiancée is from Florida. Although we have decided to stay in Florida, we still remember the disaster brought about by Katrina. Will getting a home insurance cover us from the possible damages of hurricane and other natural disasters?
Jackson
Salem, OR
Hurricane Katrina brought to people’s consciousness many issues that are otherwise not normally thought of or discussed. Certainly for the insurance industry it has spurred many discussions.
Home insurance policies may vary from places to places. For instance, force majeur or acts of god like hurricane or earthquakes may not be covered in places like Oregon, where these events are not so prone to these types of disasters. For Florida, however, which we all know by now is in a hurricane zone, there may be many insurers who will include this in their offer. I’d suggest asking your local insurance agent in Salem Oregon OR to recommend an insurance agent in Florida who will offer a policy that includes protection from hurricane. While at it, you may also want to include protection against other calamities like earthquake or floods.
Your home insurance in Salem Oregon OR can also include other features which becomes necessary in times of calamity. Apart from the usual repair works, your insurance can also cover the expenses you incur when you are dislocated from your place of residence such as food expenses and travel expenses, and temporary lodging. In some cases, even clothing expenses will be covered.
Apart from these, you can also insure the contents of your home such as furniture, appliance and the like. You can be reimbursed either for the replacement cost or the depreciated actual value.

Reader’s Question:
Hi, I’d like to ask about home insurance policies as I am currently looking forward to purchasing one for my house in Hillsboro, OR. Can you give me some tips on this?
Thanks!
Andrea
Hillsboro, OR
Hi there Andrea! It’s great that you’re actually looking forward to purchasing a home insurance policy for your home in Hillsboro, OR. Most people usually overlook this, or buy them at the last minute without even knowing exact information on the actual coverage and other insurance policy details.
See, the most basic home insurance policy covers the structure within your property and your property itself. This means that when you get a home insurance policy, you’re protecting your house from structural damage, as the policy covers damage and repair costs. Some insurance policies don’t usually cover for damages caused by natural and unpreventable disasters such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. But if you’re in a high risk or disastrous area, then a lot of insurance companies do cover these things, and you can have this added on to your policy.
A basic home insurance policy can have as many add-on policies as you like. They may cost more, but they aren’t required so it’s just up to you if you want to purchase add – ons or not. Additional liability can be purchased for your family (this can include your pets), which offers coverage in case any accident happens to your family inside your home or property. There’s also a personal possession protection add on, that covers your personal possession from losses and damages caused by either theft or damage. And then, there’s also an additional living expense policy that covers for other expenses aside from damage repair costs. This includes temporary home, furniture or appliance rental should your house be rendered unlivable after a disaster.
I hope this helps you in finding an appropriate home insurance policy for your house in Hillsboro, OR.

Reader’s Question:
Hi, I’m planning to build a new house in Eugene Oregon OR and would be purchasing a new home insurance policy soon. I’d like to know more about home insurance policies so at least I wouldn’t be so clueless when I start shopping. Thanks ahead for the tips.
Marianne
Eugene, OR
Hi Marianne!
How are you?
It’s good to hear that you’re already considering purchasing an insurance policy even before your home is built in Eugene Oregon OR. I can safely say that you have the makings of a responsible homeowner.
To start with, most people usually just associate home insurance policies as home protections for fire or smoke damage, but that’s only because it’s the most common cause of home damage. This isn’t where it all ends, though. Fire or smoke damage protection and coverage is just one of the many benefits you can get from your policy. Other benefits can range from protection of personal possessions, repair reimbursement and even rental and living reimbursements, should there be a need for you to find temporary shelter while your house is being repaired (this is most common for huge home damages).
You should see a typical home insurance policy as a multiple package. Aside from protecting your property from damage, it can also cover any liabilities in case anyone gets injured inside your house or on your property, or any other property damage caused by activities in your property. Even seemingly unrelated incidents such as (but not limited to) a neighbor having an accident on your playground, your dog attacking a neighbor or by passer, a theft inside your house, while you’re away, damage to your neighbor’s house while your house is being renovated and other similar instances.
Hope this helps you and happy home insurance policy shopping in Eugene Oregon OR!
