Final Expense
Funeral Expense Life Insurance is also known as Burial Insurance, Final Expense Life Insurance or Senior Life Insurance. Final Expense Life Insurance is designed to cover bills that your loved ones will face after your death. These costs will include medical bills, funeral expenses, Legal/Probate, the list goes on. A funeral and associated costs could run well over $10,000. The question is: Where will the money come from?
Social Security: pays only a $255 lump-sum death benefit and only to qualified dependents. See Social Security Lump Sum Payment page for details. Also, Social Security income may be reduced by as much as 50% with the death of a spouse.
Veteran’s Administration: may pay a $300 burial allowance under certain circumstances. See U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs Benefit page for more information.
Savings: Do you have the funds necessary to cover such costly expenses?
Loved Ones: Do your children have the funds necessary to cover such costly expenses? Do you want to leave this burden to them?
