Final Expense Insurance: What You Need to Know
Final expense insurance, also known as burial insurance, is a whole life insurance policy designed to cover end-of-life expenses such as funeral costs, medical bills, and other outstanding debts. With the average funeral costing between $7,000 and $12,000, having a final expense policy ensures that your loved ones won’t be left with a financial burden during an already difficult time.
Many assume their existing life insurance or savings will be enough to cover funeral costs, but that isn’t always the case. Final expense insurance offers peace of mind by providing a dedicated fund for these expenses. The benefits include:
✅ Whole Life Coverage – The policy never expires as long as premiums are paid.
✅ Fixed Premiums – The price never increases, no matter your age or health changes.
✅ Guaranteed Coverage – Your death benefit never decreases.
✅ Same-Day Coverage – Most policies provide immediate protection, meaning no waiting period.
✅ No Medical Exam – Just answer a few basic health questions.
This type of insurance is ideal for:
If you’ve watched late-night TV, you’ve probably seen commercials offering life insurance for just $9.95 per month. While these ads make it sound like an unbeatable deal, the reality is far different. These policies are often guaranteed issue, meaning they accept everyone regardless of health—but at a cost:
❌ Coverage is usually very low (sometimes less than $1,000).
❌ There is often a 2-year waiting period before full benefits are paid.
❌ Premiums add up over time, often costing far more than a proper final expense policy.
At Go Insure Direct, we can help you find better options—with full coverage, same-day approval, and no two-year wait.
Guaranteed issue policies accept all applicants but have drawbacks like higher costs and long waiting periods. In most cases, a level benefit policy is the best choice:
✔️ Guaranteed Issue Policies – Accept all applicants, but have a waiting period before full benefits are paid.
✔️ Level Benefit Policies – Offer immediate coverage, lower premiums, and no waiting period for most applicants.
