Cover Your End-of-life Expenses with Final Expense Insurance

Save Your Family from a Financial Burden Down the Road

Also called end-of-life insurance, burial insurance, and funeral insurance, final expense insurance covers all of these eventualities. We all have decisions to make when it comes to what happens to us when we die, but one thing is clear: you don’t want your end-of-life costs to cause a financial burden on your family. With the cost of dying in the United States at nearly $20,000 on average, it’s important to plan ahead with final expense insurance.

A final expense life insurance policy is a good fit for you if:

  • You only want minimum coverage to take care of end-of-life expenses
  • You had a term life policy that’s expired and a new term life policy is too expensive at your age
  • You have developed health issues that make you ineligible for other life insurance coverage
  • You had insurance through an employer but are no longer covered in retirement

What is final expense life insurance?

Simple No Medical Permanent Life Coverage

Final expense insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides affordable, guaranteed coverage with a lower face value – typically between $5,000 and $50,000. These no medical exam life insurance policies are intended to cover some or all of the typical end-of-life costs, such as funerals, burials, and cremations, as well as any outstanding medical bills or debts.

Benefits of Final Expense Insurance

Permanent, Lifelong Coverage

Unlike term life policies that come with an end date, final expense insurance covers you for your entire life.

Fixed Premiums and Benefits

Your premiums and benefits will never increase or decrease due to age, inflation, or changes in life or health.

Flexible, Tax-free Death Benefits

Death benefits are exempt from taxation and the lump sum payout to your beneficiaries can be used how they see fit.

Seriously, this won't hurt… Let’s get this done.

Give us 30 minutes and we’ll find you insurance that fits your life. It’s that simple.

Final Expense Life Insurance FAQs

Do I have to undergo a medical exam or answer health questions to qualify for final expense insurance? Expand

No and maybe, respectively. Final expense insurance is a no medical permanent life insurance policy, meaning you never have to see a doctor or undergo any medical tests to get covered. Some life insurance companies may want to ask you general lifestyle and health questions, such as your age, gender, smoker status, etc.

Do final expense life insurance policies have cash value? Expand

It depends. Some final expense policies have a cash value component and others do not, depending on what the insurance company offers. You can expect final expense insurance with cash value to be more expensive than a policy without a savings vehicle.

Do I need final expense insurance? Expand

If you do not have or don’t plan to get any other life insurance (term life, guaranteed issue, indexed universal life, whole life), final expense insurance is the bare minimum of coverage you need to ensure you’re not leaving your family with the financial burden of your end-of-life costs. If you’d like to discuss your options, our life insurance advisors are just a phone call away.
