Leave Memories — Not Financial Stress
Final expense insurance is generally smaller permanent life insurance designed to provide a death benefit that can help families prepare for funeral and other end-of-life expenses.
What Is Final Expense Insurance?
Final expense insurance is generally a smaller permanent life insurance policy designed to provide a death benefit that helps beneficiaries address end-of-life costs. Because the coverage amounts are typically more modest, the application process may be simpler than for larger policies.
This type of coverage is designed to remain in force throughout the insured’s lifetime, subject to policy terms, including any applicable waiting periods specified in the contract.

Coverage Amounts Are Modest
Final expense policies typically offer smaller coverage amounts designed for end-of-life costs, not income replacement.
Waiting Periods May Apply
Some policies include a graded benefit or waiting period before the full death benefit is payable. Review policy terms carefully.
Premium Relative to Benefit
Because coverage amounts are smaller and underwriting may be simplified, premiums relative to the death benefit may be higher than for fully underwritten policies.
