Help protect your loved ones from the expenses you leave behind.
Final expense insurance is designed to provide a smaller amount of permanent life insurance coverage to help your loved ones handle expenses after your death. Understanding how the coverage works, what it can be used for, and the available policy options can help you decide whether it fits your needs.
Understanding Final Expense Insurance
-
Final expense insurance provides a death benefit that your beneficiary can use for expenses such as funeral and burial costs, cremation, medical bills, outstanding debts, or other financial needs.
The benefit is generally paid directly to the beneficiary, giving them flexibility in how the money is used rather than limiting it specifically to funeral expenses.
-
The right amount of final expense coverage depends on the costs you want your loved ones to be prepared for. Consider funeral or burial expenses, outstanding medical bills, credit cards or other debts, and any additional money you would like to leave behind.
We can help you estimate those needs and compare coverage amounts that fit your goals and budget.
-
Many final expense policies use simplified underwriting, which means you may only need to answer a series of health questions rather than complete a traditional medical exam.
Eligibility, pricing, and available benefits depend on factors such as age, health history, tobacco use, and the insurance carrier. Some applicants may qualify for immediate coverage, while others may be offered a graded-benefit policy.
-
Simplified issue final expense insurance typically requires you to answer health questions but usually does not require a medical exam. Applicants who qualify may have access to lower premiums and coverage with an immediate death benefit.
Guaranteed issue coverage generally does not require health questions or a medical exam and may be available to applicants who have difficulty qualifying for other coverage. These policies typically cost more for the amount of coverage provided and may include a graded death benefit during the first few policy years.
We can help you compare the options available based on your health, needs, and budget.
