Understanding Final Expense
Fits these needs:
Final expense coverage may be right for you if you want to help your loved ones manage your funeral costs and avoid being burdened with outstanding debts. The policy may also be used to provide a gift to a loved one or for charitable giving.
What to consider:
At present, Social Security pays only $255* to qualified beneficiaries. The average cost of a funeral is over $8,000.** Final Expense whole life insurance can be used to help fill the gap.
Options:
We have coverage options for individuals 50 to 85 years old. Three types of policies are available, and the right option for you depends on your age and a brief medical history interview. Coverage amounts can range from $3,000 up to $35,000.
Your policy is determined by your medical history
Your medical history will determine which of three Final Expense policies is available to meet your specific needs. No medical exam or blood tests are required, just a short application and brief medical history interview. Most policies are issued within days.
