What Is Final Expense Insurance?
What it's designed for
Final expense insurance is generally a type of whole life insurance, sized to help cover costs like funeral and burial expenses, outstanding medical bills, and other end-of-life costs so your family isn't left covering them out of pocket.
Why people choose it
Compared to a typical term life policy, final expense coverage usually has a smaller face amount and simplified underwriting, which can make it easier to qualify for - especially for older applicants or people with health conditions that might complicate other types of coverage.
What to know before you apply
Coverage amounts, premiums, and payout terms vary by carrier and depend on the health questions and underwriting used. Since final expense products differ quite a bit from company to company, it's worth comparing more than one before deciding.
