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.
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.
For those in reasonably good health — the full death benefit from day one and the best value.
For those with more health concerns — the full benefit phases in over the first couple of years.
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.
Final expense policies are priced simply compared to other insurance. Your age and coverage amount are the two biggest factors, and because most policies require no medical exam, your health history plays a smaller role than with traditional life insurance — though some plans use a short health questionnaire to determine your rate class. Tobacco use can raise the premium, and locking in coverage sooner rather than later generally means a lower monthly rate that stays level for life.
Most people choose a coverage amount between $5,000 and $25,000 — enough to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and other final expenses without burdening family members. I can help you land on an amount that fits your situation and your budget.
