Final Expense

Affordable coverage so loved ones aren't left with the bill

Final Expense

Affordable coverage so loved ones aren't left with the bill

Saying goodbye to a loved one is hard enough without a financial burden attached. Final expense insurance is a simple, affordable way to make sure the money is there to cover your funeral, burial or cremation, and other end-of-life costs — with no medical exam required for most policies.

What final expense insurance is

Final expense insurance is a type of whole life insurance with a smaller death benefit — commonly in the range needed to cover a funeral and related expenses. Because it is whole life, the coverage never expires as long as premiums are paid, and the premium stays level for life. The death benefit is paid to your chosen beneficiary, who can use it for whatever is needed: funeral home costs, a casket or urn, a burial plot or cremation, a headstone, outstanding medical bills, or any final debts.

Types of Policies

Level, graded, and guaranteed issue

Level benefit

For those in reasonably good health — the full death benefit from day one and the best value.

Graded / modified

For those with more health concerns — the full benefit phases in over the first couple of years.

Guaranteed issue

Acceptance with no health questions at all, usually with a short waiting period before the full benefit applies.

Having several options means that almost everyone can find some form of coverage. Part of my role is matching you to the type that gives you the most benefit for your situation and health.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much coverage should I get?

Enough to cover a funeral, burial or cremation, and any final bills. We will estimate realistic costs for your area together.

Will I need a medical exam?

No. Most final expense policies ask only a few health questions, and guaranteed-issue options ask none at all.

Will my premium rise as I get older?

No. Premiums are level for life, and the coverage never expires as long as premiums are paid.

Can I still qualify if I have health conditions?

Most likely yes. Between level, graded, and guaranteed-issue options, there is a form of coverage available for nearly everyone.
