Final Expense Insurance
Final expense insurance is generally a type of life insurance intended to help with funeral costs, burial or cremation expenses, medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses, depending on the policy.
How it works
A final expense policy typically provides a death benefit to selected beneficiaries if the insured person passes away while the policy is active and a covered claim is approved. Coverage amounts are often smaller than traditional life insurance policies.
Who may benefit
This coverage may benefit people who want a simple policy focused on end-of-life expenses, families who want to reduce financial stress, or individuals who may not need a larger life insurance policy.
Common uses
Benefits may be used for funeral services, burial or cremation, medical bills, remaining debts, travel for family members, or other final expenses chosen by the beneficiary.
Important limitations and exclusions
Benefits, eligibility, underwriting, graded benefit periods, exclusions, costs, and availability vary by carrier, product, policy, and state. Policy details should be reviewed carefully before applying.
