Ansparverein auf Gegenseitigkeit

German term or phrase: Ansparverein auf Gegenseitigkeit
Im sogenannten „Ansparverein auf Gegenseitigkeit“ kann man eine Sterbensversicherung abschliessen, diese garantiert, dass man je nach Prämienstaffelung ein Begräbnis zweiter oder erster Klasse bekommt, auch wenn der dazu notwendige Betrag noch nicht voll eingezahlt wurde.

All this sounds pretty euphemistic to me, but I'm at a loss with regards to rephrasing it (the Verein).

Explanation:
The title sounds like savings, but we see that it acts like a mutual life insurance company. "In a so-called Mutual Financial Association, you can take out a life insurance policy that guarantees a first or second class burial, depending on the premium category, even if the premiums paid in are not sufficient to cover the burial cost."
