Final expense insurance covers costs and expenses related to the end of the policyholder’s life. Specific coverage options vary depending on a few factors, such as the insurance company, beneficiary and plan. Final expense policies may cover a combination of the following expenses:
- Medical bills
- Funeral arrangements
- Burial
- Cremation
- Celebratory events
- Flowers
- Memorials
- Obituaries
- Outstanding bills
The amount of coverage you can get with a final expense insurance policy depends on a few factors, such as:
- The company
- Your health
- Your age
- How much you pay in premiums
You pay final expense insurance premiums each month in exchange for coverage. Typically, the older you are, the higher your premiums. This is because the insurance company considers you at higher risk. Younger and healthier adults could pay as little as $20 per month for a policy, while older adults with medical conditions may need to pay $100 or more.
Final expense insurance is a type of life insurance meant to provide minimal coverage to the policyholder for his or her funeral expenses.
