What Is Final Expense Insurance?

Coverage Designed for Life's Final Chapter

Final expense insurance — also called simplified whole life insurance — is a permanent life insurance policy designed specifically to cover end-of-life costs. Unlike traditional life insurance, it requires no medical exam and is available to most applicants regardless of health history.

Policies typically range from $5,000 to $25,000 and are designed to cover funeral costs, burial expenses, outstanding medical bills, and other final debts — so your family isn't left with financial burdens during an already difficult time.

Who Qualifies?

Coverage for Those Who've Been Turned Away

Traditional life insurance often denies coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. Final expense insurance was built for exactly those situations.

Diabetes
Heart disease
COPD or respiratory conditions
Cancer history
Stroke history
Kidney disease
High blood pressure
Obesity

If you've been denied coverage before, you may still qualify. We work with multiple carriers to find the right fit for your situation.

What It Covers

More Than a Funeral

Funeral & Burial Costs

The average funeral costs $7,000–$12,000. Your policy ensures your family can give you the farewell you deserve without financial strain.

Medical Bills

End-of-life medical expenses can accumulate quickly. Final expense coverage helps settle outstanding balances so your family starts fresh.

Outstanding Debts

Credit cards, personal loans, and other debts don't disappear. Your policy can help settle these so loved ones aren't left responsible.

Living Expenses

Any remaining funds can help a surviving spouse or family member cover rent, utilities, or daily living costs during the transition.
