Burial insurance is a small whole life policy designed to pay for your funeral, casket, cemetery costs, and any small debts you leave behind — protecting your family from a $10,000+ bill they never planned for. It's one of the simplest and most affordable forms of life insurance available to seniors.
Your rate is locked in at the age you apply — it never rises, no matter how old you get.
Approval is based on a short list of health questions (or no questions at all on guaranteed-issue plans).
The death benefit is paid tax-free to a beneficiary you name — usable for anything the family chooses.
Right-size your policy to cover exactly what you need without paying for coverage you don't.
Yes. 'Burial insurance,' 'final expense insurance,' and 'funeral insurance' all describe the same small whole life policy designed to cover end-of-life costs.
The average U.S. funeral costs $8,000–$12,000. Most families choose $10,000–$25,000 to cover the funeral plus small debts.
You cannot be denied a guaranteed-issue burial insurance policy — coverage is automatic for applicants ages 50–80 regardless of health.
