What is Final Expense Insurance?
Final Expense Insurance, also referred to as Burial Insurance, is a whole life insurance policy that is designed to pay off the expenses families face upon the death of a loved one. This type of insurance ensures your loved ones aren’t saddled with debts that can be financially troubling after you pass.
Final expenses include bills associated with medical expenses, funeral or memorial services, and the price of burial or cremation. The average funeral and burial in the United States today costs approximately $9,000, and that cost does not include end-of-life medical expenses. Protect your family from facing these expenses alone with an affordable Final Expense insurance policy.
What is are the advantages of Final Expense coverage?
There are many advantages to final expense insurance coverage. Some of the most popular advantages include the following:
Permanent protection over a lifetime. Final expense coverage will stay in force, as long as you continue making premium payments as required under the policy.
Premiums don’t increase as you grow older. Your premiums are based on your age at the time you take out the policy, and remain steady for the life of the policy.
Help protect loved ones from debts associated with the burial or funeral process. Final expense insurance coverage offers cash after you die that can be used to pay the cost of your funeral or memorial service, as well as the costs of cremation and/or burial.
Tax-deferred cash value that builds over time. In addition to offering a fixed death benefit (the “face amount” of the policy), final expense insurance can also provide the option to accumulate cash value over time, inside the policy.
Affordable premiums customized to fit their budget. Your policy, and the premiums you will pay, can be designed to fit your needs and available budget.
