Addressing Common Final Expense Insurance Concerns
"I'm healthy and don't need insurance yet"
The best time to get final expense insurance is while you're healthy and can qualify for simplified issue coverage with lower premiums. Waiting often means higher costs or limited options.
"My children can handle the costs"
Even financially stable children shouldn't have to pay $15,000+ for funeral expenses. Final expense insurance ensures your children inherit your legacy, not your bills.
"I have some life insurance from work"
Employer life insurance usually ends when you retire. If you're already retired, you may have no coverage at all. Final expense insurance is permanent and travels with you.
"I can't afford monthly premiums"
Final expense premiums are often less than what many people spend on cable TV or dining out. Small coverage amounts start at $20-30 per month, even for seniors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between final expense and regular life insurance?
Final expense insurance has smaller coverage amounts ($5K-$25K), simplified underwriting, and is designed specifically for seniors. Regular life insurance typically requires medical exams and offers higher coverage amounts.
Can my beneficiaries use the money for anything?
Yes! The death benefit is paid directly to your beneficiaries with no restrictions. While intended for final expenses, they can use it for any purpose they choose.
What if I move to another state?
Your coverage travels with you anywhere in the United States. This is especially important for snowbirds who split time between Southwest Florida and northern states.
What happens if I stop paying premiums?
Your coverage will lapse and end. However, some policies build small cash values that can help pay premiums or provide a reduced paid-up amount. We'll explain your specific policy's options.
