Your Questions About Final Expense Answered

Final expense insurance is a whole life policy designed to cover the costs that come at the end of life — funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, and outstanding debts. The benefit is paid as a tax-free lump sum directly to the person you choose, with no restrictions on how they use it.

Term life insurance expires after a set number of years and typically requires a medical exam to qualify. Final expense insurance is a whole life policy — it never expires as long as you keep paying, requires no exam, and builds cash value over time.
