What Is Final Expense Insurance?

Final expense insurance, also known as burial insurance or funeral insurance, is a type of whole life insurance designed specifically to cover the costs associated with your death. Unlike traditional life insurance, final expense insurance provides smaller death benefits (typically $5,000 to $25,000) that are intended to cover funeral, burial, and other end-of-life expenses.
This insurance is designed to be affordable and accessible, with simplified underwriting that often doesn’t require a medical exam. The death benefit is paid directly to your beneficiaries, who can use it to cover whatever expenses they choose.
It’s a practical way to ensure your family won’t face unexpected financial hardship during an already emotional time, allowing them to focus on grieving and celebrating your life rather than worrying about bills.
