Who are you looking to protect?

What is final expense insurance?

Final expense insurance (sometimes called burial or funeral insurance) is a type of whole-life policy with a smaller benefit amount. Instead of replacing years of income, it's meant to cover the immediate costs that come at the end of life: the funeral, the burial or cremation, and smaller outstanding bills.

Because the coverage amount is modest, monthly premiums are typically lower than a large whole-life policy, which makes it a popular choice for people who want to plan ahead without a big financial commitment.

Who it's a good fit for

Final expense coverage is often chosen by older adults who want to make sure their family isn't left covering funeral costs out of pocket. It can also be a fit if you simply want a smaller, more manageable policy focused on end-of-life costs rather than replacing income.

  • You want to spare your family the cost and stress of arranging a funeral
  • You want to plan ahead without a large financial commitment
  • You want a fixed premium that's designed not to increase with age

How much coverage do you need?

The right amount depends on the kind of service you'd want and any small debts you'd like to leave settled. Funeral and burial costs in the U.S. commonly run into the thousands of dollars, so many people choose a benefit sized to cover those costs with a little left over.

Frequently asked questions

Is final expense the same as life insurance?

Yes. It's a type of whole-life insurance with a smaller benefit amount, designed specifically to cover end-of-life costs rather than replace income.

Do I need a medical exam?

Medical exam requirements vary by policy and carrier. Some life insurance applications include a medical exam, while others rely on a set of health questions. Someone from our team can explain what to expect based on your situation.

How much final expense coverage should I get?

Many people choose a benefit sized to cover funeral and burial costs, which in the U.S. often run into the thousands of dollars, plus any small final bills. The right amount depends on the kind of service you'd want and your budget. Someone from our team can help you land on a realistic number.

Who receives the money from a final expense policy?

Like other life insurance, the benefit is paid to the beneficiary you name, who can use it for funeral costs or anything else. You decide who that is when the policy is set up.
