What is Final Expense Insurance?

Final Expense whole life insurance plans are typically sold to mature adults, usually around 45-85 and are specifically designed to cover the costs of funeral services (burials or cremations) and ANY other expenses you may leave behind when you pass. It is insurance money, in the form of a check, that is sent to your loved ones (who are called the beneficiary) immediately upon your passing.

While most people don’t like to talk about their death, it is important to plan for it.

Protecting Your Loved Ones

Funeral Directors need payment at the time of service. Sometimes folks will think to themselves that they have things in their homes that the kids and loved ones can sell. We would strongly caution against this. When your loved one is dealing with your passing, how fair is it to make them try to figure out how to sell your things? And at the same time, meet with a funeral director or crematory that needs money right now. Your loved ones need time to grieve and to celebrate your life, not scramble around trying to sell your stuff! The loss of a loved one is a lot to deal with, and adding the extra burden of having garage sales, or trying to determine the value of your gold or silver, or sell a home in an instant, is a poor way to get the most money for your items. It’s a tremendous burden for the loved ones who are left behind. Wouldn’t it be a kinder gesture to have them simply cash an insurance check and let them grieve your loss?

How Does Final Expense Insurance Work?

These policies are permanent whole life insurance plans rather than term life insurance that “Terminates”. This means that these whole life policies do not have a specific time period of coverage. It covers you your “whole life”. So long as your monthly premiums (monthly bill) is paid, the policy will not expire.

Guaranteed Issue

These plans have no health questions. You cannot be turned down for this plan. For someone with serious health issues, this option is the way to go. The premiums will be high, but for someone who cannot get approved for any other type of policy, this will make sure your family is taken care of. You will have a waiting period for dying of natural causes the first few years. Please look at your policy for details. If you are in relatively good health, DO NOT get a Guaranteed Issue policy. You don’t need to wait 2 years for coverage for natural causes and you don’t need to donate your hard earned dollars to the insurance company.
