The service itself
Funeral director fees, chapel or graveside service, a casket or urn, the cemetery plot or the cremation, transport and the headstone.
Final expense whole life coverage
A funeral in the United States now runs between eight and twelve thousand dollars, and it is due within days. Final expense coverage is a small whole life policy that puts a tax free cash payment in your family's hands so the arrangements are never a fundraising problem.
Speak with a licensed insurance representative about your options. There is no obligation to buy.

Where the money goes
The benefit is paid in cash directly to the person you name, and it carries no restrictions. Most families put it toward these four things.
Funeral director fees, chapel or graveside service, a casket or urn, the cemetery plot or the cremation, transport and the headstone.
Hospital, hospice and physician balances that insurance did not pick up, plus any co-pays that arrive weeks later.
Credit cards, a car note, probate or executor fees, and the legal work involved in settling an estate.
Flights for relatives, a few months of household bills, or simply a gift left behind for someone who needs it.
Because it is whole life, the policy does not expire on a set date and the benefit does not shrink as you age.
If final expense coverage is not right for you, the representative should tell you so rather than sell you a policy you do not need.
Who you are dealing with
This website connects callers with licensed insurance representatives who may review coverage options from 2-3 participating carriers. We are an insurance marketing and referral website, not an insurance company, and we cannot guarantee a particular price or that coverage will be available.
Different representatives may assist with quoting, applications, servicing and claims-related questions. Nothing is binding until you sign an application, and you can end the call at any point.
Why families stay with us

Health history can affect eligibility. Some conditions may disqualify applicants from available products, including certain guaranteed issue options.
Claim timing is set by the carrier and depends on it receiving a complete claim packet, including a certified death certificate.
Premiums vary by carrier, plan, age, state and eligibility.
Different teams may assist with sales, applications, retention, servicing and claims.
Plain English, and a representative who will happily go over the same point twice. No jargon, no pressure to sign today.

Some final expense plans do not require a physical medical examination. However, health-related questions are required to help determine available coverage options. Requirements and eligibility vary by carrier and product.
Not on a level premium whole life policy. The premium and the death benefit are both fixed in the contract for as long as premiums are paid as scheduled. Ask the representative to point out that clause before you sign.
It applies to guaranteed issue plans. During the first two years, a death from natural causes usually returns the premiums paid plus interest rather than the full benefit. Accidental death is generally covered in full from day one. Terms vary by carrier and product.
Medical conditions can affect whether a person qualifies for a particular final expense plan. Some conditions may result in disqualification, including from certain guaranteed issue products. A licensed representative can discuss options, if any, that may be available.
Claim timing is set by the carrier and depends on it receiving a complete claim packet, including a certified death certificate. The benefit is paid to the beneficiaries named on the policy.
Generally, yes. Many policies let you split the benefit across several people by percentage and update it later. Ask the representative how this works on the plan you are considering.
Policies usually include a free look period, typically between 10 and 30 days depending on your state. Cancel inside it and your premium is generally refunded. After that you can cancel, though the coverage ends with it.
