Why final expense coverage matters
Final expense insurance is a form of life insurance commonly purchased to reduce the financial burden on family members. Policies are usually smaller than traditional life insurance and may be easier to understand for people focused on specific end-of-life costs.
Possible uses
- Funeral home, burial, cremation, memorial, and transportation costs.
- Outstanding medical bills or small debts.
- Travel needs for family members and immediate household expenses.
- Providing a direct benefit to a named beneficiary.
