Protect What Matters Most

Plan ahead with clarity

Final expense coverage may help provide funds that can be used for funeral and other end‑of‑life expenses, depending on the policy terms. Coverage amounts, premiums, benefits, exclusions, waiting periods, and other limitations vary by policy, so it is important to review the details carefully before applying1.

Why many families consider it

• It may help reduce the financial impact of funeral and related expenses on loved ones.
• It can provide access to funds that beneficiaries may use for covered final expenses, subject to the policy terms.
• It may support advance planning for certain end‑of‑life costs and help families feel more prepared.
• It can be considered as one part of a broader insurance and estate planning strategy.
• It may offer a relatively straightforward way to address a specific financial need, depending on eligibility and product design.

What to review before you decide

• Whether the coverage amount appears reasonably aligned with the expenses you want to plan for.
• The premium and whether it fits comfortably within your budget over time.
• Waiting periods, contestability provisions, exclusions, and any other limitations that may affect benefits.
• Beneficiary designations and how you expect proceeds to be used.
• Underwriting requirements, available options, and any riders or additional features offered with the policy.
