What Is Final Expense Insurance?





Final Expense Insurance covers the cost of funeral homes, burial expenses, and other final expenses when you die. For example, the life insurance company pays a surviving spouse a death benefit for getting your body treated, a funeral, or a cremation.

This type of whole life policy is for seniors who don’t have any other life insurance policies or can not get approved for a policy due to serious health issues. Funerals can cost a lot of money, so you should get this type of life insurance to relieve the financial burden on your loved ones.

Final Expense Policies are permanent and never expire as long as the insured pays the premiums. Final Expense Policies are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company, and the financial strength of the provider should be considered. (NAIC)

The permanent policy is for small amounts only and is designed for when senior citizens don’t have the money to pay premiums on traditional policies but still want to pay for their funeral and other expenses ahead of time. In addition, the insurance is ideal for adult children of an elderly parent who can’t afford to pay for these expenses themselves.

The financial products provide a small amount of money ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 for funeral and “end of life expenses” costs such as funeral and burial costs, medical bills, credit card bills, and any other outstanding bills.

Seniors up to a maximum age of 80 can expect a short application process and immediate coverage.
