Final expense insurance is a type of whole life insurance intended to help pay for end-of-life costs such as funeral services, burial or cremation, and certain remaining bills. Coverage amounts are typically smaller than traditional life insurance and are often designed to fit within a modest monthly budget.
Final expense coverage is commonly designed for adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond who want to ensure that loved ones are not left with unexpected costs. Depending on the carrier and plan, there may be age and health requirements for eligibility.
Many final expense plans use simplified underwriting, which means you answer health questions but do not complete a full medical exam. Some plans are guaranteed issue and do not require health questions, though they may include waiting periods and higher premiums.
The right coverage amount depends on the cost of funeral and burial or cremation in your area, along with any additional expenses you want to help cover, such as small debts or outstanding bills. A licensed agent can help you estimate these costs and match them with a budget-friendly premium.
