Final expense insurance is simple, affordable whole life coverage designed to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses — so your family doesn't have to worry about a thing.
Final expense insurance — sometimes called burial insurance or funeral insurance — is a type of whole life insurance with a smaller face value, typically between $5,000 and $25,000, designed specifically to cover end-of-life expenses.
Unlike traditional life insurance, final expense policies are designed to be easy to qualify for. Many plans require no medical exam — just a few health questions. Coverage is permanent and your premium never goes up.
The death benefit can be used for anything — funeral costs, cremation, outstanding medical bills, credit card debt, or simply as a gift to your family. The money goes directly to your beneficiary with no restrictions.
Full death benefit from day one. Available to people in reasonably good health. This is the most affordable option if you qualify.
For those with some health conditions. The full death benefit kicks in after 2–3 years. Lower risk for the insurer means you can still get covered.
No health questions at all — everyone who applies is accepted. Higher premiums and a waiting period, but it's an option for those who can't qualify otherwise.
