Burial insurance or final expense insurance provides life insurance coverage until age 100 to cover funeral and end-of-life expenses. It has simpler application and qualification processes than other life insurance policies. The policies provide flexibility for beneficiaries to use the funds for expenses associated with a loved one's death, including funeral costs, travel costs for out-of-town family, and other costs that can add up. Final expense insurance also offers fixed premiums, cash value accumulation, and permanent coverage making it a wise investment for the future.
