How it works
The average funeral today can cost $8,000 to $12,000 or more. Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy, usually $5,000 to $35,000, made to cover those costs so your family isn't left with the bill.
Plans are built for people 50 to 85. Most have no medical exam, the price is locked in for life, and the policy can't be canceled because of age or health as long as premiums are paid. A licensed agent compares several A-rated companies to find you the best price.
