1. What is Final Expense Life Insurance

Final expense insurance is a relatively unknown product among many consumers. Yet, it can be an essential part of your financial plan to ensure that you have the money for funeral costs if something happens. This guide will look at what burial insurance policies are and how you can get more information about them.

The financial products provide a small amount of money ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 for funeral and “end of life expenses” costs such as funeral and burial costs, medical bills, credit card bills, and any other outstanding bills. These life insurance plans are also known as end-of-life insurance.

Seniors up to a maximum age of 80 can expect a short application process and immediate coverage.

 

2. How Much Does a Funeral Cost?

According to the National Funeral Directors Association:

Funeral – Average costs $7,000 to $15,000. This includes the cost of viewing and burial, basic service fees, transporting remains to a funeral home.

Cremation –  Average is $6,000 to $7,000. These costs do not include a cemetery monument or marker.

In the 1980s, funerals cost $2,000. Today, it can cost up to $9,000 or more if you bury or cremate the body. In addition, you might have to pay thousands of dollars for a casket, depending on what type of materials you want.
