Final Expense Insurance
Final Expense Insurance, also referred to as Burial Insurance, is a whole life insurance policy that is designed to pay off the expenses families face upon the death of a loved one. This type of insurance ensures your loved ones aren't saddled with debts that can be financially troubling after you pass.
Final expenses include bills associated with medical expenses, funeral or memorial services, and the price of burial or cremation. The average funeral and burial in the United States today costs approximately $9,000, and that cost does not include end-of-life medical expenses. Protect your family from facing these expenses alone with an affordable Final Expense insurance policy.
Why Do I Need Final Expense Insurance?
Most of us will eventually need to pay for final expense insurance. If you don't have extra funds set aside in savings just for final expenses, your loved ones may struggle with coming up with the money needed to give you the service and burial they want after you have passed.
Leaving behind large debts can be crippling to family members. Final expense insurance enables families to properly grieve their loved ones without the burden of unplanned costs. Thankfully, final expense insurance is an affordable whole life insurance plan that offers a solution to these problems.
How Does Final Expense Insurance Work?
Final expense coverage is a life insurance policy that you purchase for a specific dollar amount ("face value"). You pay premiums periodically to keep the policy in force. If you die while the policy is still active, the insurance company pays the death benefit to the funeral home or individual(s) you named as the policy beneficiary(ies).
