Final expense insurance made simple
Final expense (burial) insurance is a small whole-life policy, typically $5,000 to $50,000, designed to cover funeral costs, medical bills and other end-of-life expenses so your family doesn’t have to. Most plans need no medical exam, and many have premiums that never increase once issued. We connect you with licensed agents who can quote plans for your age and health.
A good fit if you…
- Are between 50 and 85 and want coverage that’s easy to qualify for
- Prefer a fixed premium that never goes up
- Want to spare your family a funeral bill that often runs $8,000 or more
- Have health conditions that made other coverage hard to get
- Want a policy that builds a small cash value
What agents can quote
- Level benefit plans for applicants in good health
- Graded benefit plans for applicants with health conditions
- Guaranteed issue plans with no health questions
- Coverage amounts from $5,000 to $50,000
- Premiums fixed for life, with coverage that never expires

Three things to understand before you compare
Fixed premiums
Final expense policies are whole life, so the premium you start with is the one you keep, and coverage doesn’t end at a certain age.
Graded vs. level benefits
Level plans pay the full benefit from day one. Graded and guaranteed-issue plans may pay a reduced benefit if death occurs in the first two years, except by accident.
Your beneficiary gets cash
The benefit is paid to the person you name, generally income-tax free, and can be used for anything: the funeral, medical bills, debts or an inheritance.
