About Final Expenses and Burial Benefits
What are final expenses?
Final expenses are the costs that arrive when someone passes away: the funeral or cremation, burial costs, remaining medical bills, and other end-of-life expenses. For most families the total reaches well into five figures, and much of it is due within days.
What is a burial benefit plan?
It is a simple plan that pays a cash benefit to the person you choose — usually a spouse or adult child — when you pass away. Your family can use it for the funeral, the burial, bills, or anything else they need. The benefit goes to your family, not to a funeral home.
How much benefit do I need?
Most families choose between $5,000 and $25,000. The right amount depends on the kind of service you want and what other costs you would like covered. A licensed agent can help you do the math in a few minutes.
Is this the same as prepaying a funeral home?
No — and the difference matters. Money prepaid to a funeral home is usually locked to that funeral home. A burial benefit is paid to your family, so it moves with you if you relocate and covers whatever your family actually needs.
About Qualifying
Who can qualify?
Our plans are designed for people ages 50–85. There are options for nearly every health situation — including guaranteed acceptance plans that have no health exam and no health questions.
Do I need a medical exam?
No. None of the plans we help families find require a medical exam. Some plans ask a few health questions; guaranteed acceptance plans ask none at all.
What if I have health problems?
You still have options. Guaranteed acceptance plans were created exactly for this situation — acceptance is not based on your health. Your agent will explain how these plans work, including any waiting period, in plain language before you decide anything.
