Prepare for funeral costs and other end-of-life expenses.
What it is
Final expense insurance is usually a smaller life insurance policy intended to help loved ones handle costs that remain after death. The beneficiary may use the death benefit for a funeral or burial, medical bills, credit cards, household expenses, or another immediate need. It is not a prepaid funeral plan, and the benefit is paid according to the policy terms.
Policy features, eligibility, and benefits vary by carrier, state, and underwriting.

How it works
Policies are commonly permanent life insurance and may remain in force for life when premiums are paid.
Coverage amounts are usually lower than income-replacement policies, so the application may be simpler depending on the carrier.
Some plans ask health questions; others may use graded benefits or waiting periods. A graded policy may not pay the full natural-death benefit during its early years.
