Final expense insurance provides a small whole life policy — typically $5,000 to $25,000 — to cover funeral costs and end-of-life expenses. No medical exam required for most plans. Coverage from as low as $20/month.
Final expense policies are small whole life insurance plans designed to cover the costs your family will face at end of life.
The average funeral in South Carolina costs $7,000–$12,000. Final expense insurance ensures your family can cover these costs without dipping into savings or going into debt.
End-of-life medical expenses can accumulate quickly. The death benefit can be used by your beneficiary for any outstanding medical bills or hospice costs.
Credit cards, personal loans, or other debts don't disappear at death — they become your family's problem. Final expense coverage provides funds to settle these obligations.
Unlike burial-specific policies, final expense life insurance pays a cash death benefit your beneficiary can use for any purpose — including rent, groceries, or any other immediate need.
Simple coverage designed specifically for seniors who want to protect their families from financial stress.
Most final expense plans require only a few health questions — no blood draws, no physicals, no waiting on lab results. Many seniors with health conditions can still qualify.
Your monthly premium never increases. A whole life policy that starts at $40/month stays at $40/month for life — no matter how old you get or if your health changes.
Unlike term life insurance, final expense policies don't expire after a set period. Coverage stays in force as long as you pay premiums — guaranteed.
Coverage amounts of $5,000–$25,000 keep monthly premiums affordable — typically $20–$100/month depending on your age, health, and coverage amount.
