Affordable whole life coverage designed specifically to cover funeral costs, medical bills, and final expenses — so your loved ones can grieve without financial stress.
Final expense insurance — also called burial insurance or funeral insurance — is a type of whole life insurance designed to cover the costs that arise at the end of life. These costs include funeral services, caskets, burial plots, cremation, outstanding medical bills, and other debts you may leave behind.
Unlike traditional life insurance, final expense policies are typically smaller in coverage amount ($2,000 – $35,000), have simplified underwriting with no medical exam, and are much easier to qualify for — even with health conditions.
Your premiums are locked in for life, your coverage never expires, and the death benefit is paid directly to your beneficiary — usually within days — so they can handle expenses immediately.

The average funeral in the United States costs between $8,000 and $12,000. Without coverage, that burden falls entirely on your family.
The national average for a full funeral service with burial is between $8,000 – $12,000. Cremation typically runs $3,000 – $7,000.
End-of-life medical expenses can add thousands more in hospital bills, hospice care, and prescription costs — often unpaid at the time of passing.
Without a policy in place, your family members must cover these costs out of pocket — often crowdfunding, taking on debt, or going without a proper service.
