Peace Of Mind That Is
Simple & Affordable

The most important thing to understand is that burial insurance is a life insurance policy. It’s just a particular type of life insurance.

The people who buy these policies do so to ensure their end-of-life expenses won’t become a burden to their loved ones.

To be more specific, burial insurance plans are whole life insurance. Like life insurance for kids, burial policies are always whole life insurance if you purchase through our agency.

Because they are whole life policies, the way they work is straightforward.

Here are the pertinent policy details.

Monthly premiums Can never increase.

Death benefits are guaranteed never to decrease.

The policy cannot expire at any age.

No physical or medical exam is necessary.

As you can see, these are incredibly simple to understand. You don’t need to be leery of hidden fine print.

Life insurance is a contract that stipulates the insurer will pay out the prescribed death benefit upon the insured’s passing.

Once you pass away, your burial policy will result in the insurer sending a tax-free check directly to your beneficiary(s).

That money enables them to pay for your final expenses.

There are no restrictions on how you use the money. These burial life policies merely pay out cold hard cash.

The good news is that every funeral home in America will accept cash, so the fact that they simply payout money is excellent.

If any proceeds are left over after all the final expenses have been paid, that money will stay with your family to enrich their lives as they see fit.

Very often, life insurance plans owned by seniors result in a leftover financial legacy.

New policies can be issued between ages 0-89.

Please understand that there are a few factors that determine your eligibility.

State of residence: Some insurers don’t have their products approved in every state.

Age: Not every plan is available to all ages.

Health: Some products you must qualify for based on health. Some plans have no health questions as well.

The most common age of availability is 50-85.

If you are within that age range, there is a 99% chance we can get you a burial insurance policy.

If you are younger than 50 or older than 85, your options will depend on your health and state of residence.

We can even help you get coverage on your kids too.

If you want to see some example prices on children’s life insurance, here’s a detailed analysis of the Gerber Life Grow-Up plan cost.

We get this question a lot, so let’s set the record straight.

In multiple ways, final expense life insurance policies are unlike any other kind of life insurance. The insurance companies made sure that seniors with health problems could still qualify.

They also made sure that seniors could buy as little or as much coverage as desired. Final expense life insurance is different in three main ways.

#1 – Incredibly lenient underwriting

By far, underwriting is the most unique element to burial life insurance. Insurance carriers designed these plans to absorb the heavy risk of various high-risk conditions.

Most health issues accepted by funeral life insurance policies would get you auto declined for any traditional life insurance product.

The lax underwriting is fantastic because it enables seniors with high-risk conditions to qualify for a policy. They can have peace of mind knowing their funeral bills will not burden their family.

If you have any of the following health issues, you can still get a final expense policy that fully protects you from day one.

(Please remember that your age and state may affect your options.)

Many other high-risk health issues are easily insurable as well. If you have a condition not on that list, please don’t assume you cannot be insured because you can.

Again, it’s rare that someone cannot qualify for a plan with immediate coverage.

#2 – Guaranteed issue no health question policies

For certain ultra high-risk conditions, a guaranteed issue life policy is the only solution, and thank God for them. If they didn’t exist, people with these health issues would not have access to coverage at all.

Guaranteed issue plans have no health questions. As long as you are mentally capable of entering into a legal contract, your acceptance is guaranteed.

So what’s the catch?

There are two drawbacks to these no health question plans, so they should be a last resort.

They ALL come with a 24-month waiting period. Suppose the insured should pass away during the first 24 months. In that case, the insurer will merely refund all premiums paid plus interest (usually 10%).

The cost is much higher relative to policies that do have health questions. Since the insurance company is taking on much more risk (they know nothing about your health), they must charge more money to compensate for the increased risk.

If you have any of the following health issues, a guaranteed issue final expense policy is your only option.

• Terminal illness
• Hospice care
• Dialysis
• HIV or AIDS
• Currently in a hospital or nursing facility
• Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Recommended to have an organ transplant

At the end of the day, because a guaranteed issue is always an option, you could possess virtually no health issue where you could not get a policy.

Crazy right?

#3 – Small face value options

If you can believe it, some burial insurance companies will allow you to buy as little as $1,000 in coverage.

Most companies tend to have face value options somewhere in the range of $2,000-$40,000.

There is no other form of life insurance that will allow you to buy such small amounts of protection.

It’s a great feature because it allows you to buy only what you need. You won’t have to pay out a bunch of money for coverage that you don’t need.

For example, let’s say you want a cremation service. For cremation, you would need roughly $2,000-$5,000 in coverage to ensure enough money exists to pay for your service.

Whether you want $2,000, $5,000, $10,000 or $25,000 in final expense protection, you can do that!

You might be wondering: Can I get higher face amounts?

Yes, you can!

Some companies have high face amount limits such as $40,000 or $100,000. Even then, you could always buy multiple policies to get the total amount of coverage you desire.

What if you were offered a life insurance policy for final expenses that would expire once you reached the age of 80. Would you take it?

Not surprisingly, those who buy a funeral insurance policy do so because they love their family and don’t want to burden them with their final expenses.

Beyond that, these policies are an excellent option for any of the following reasons:

• You have coverage now and need a little more.
• You don’t have the cash on hand to cover your funeral bills.
• Leaving a charitable donation to an organization.
• Paying off medical bills or debts in addition to final expenses
• You have cash but would prefer it not to be explicitly allocated for funeral bills.

Everyone has different goals.

Fortunately, these plans are customizable to suit everyone’s desires.

Applying for a final expense life insurance plan is easier than renting a movie.

That is true even if your goal is to get life insurance on a parent’s life.

First, there is never a medical or physical exam to qualify. Furthermore, you won’t need to provide your medical records.

The application will have you answer some basic questions about your health (except for guaranteed issue policies).

The insurance companies on their end will conduct a prescription history check. They do this to validate your health.

You won’t need to get a printout from your pharmacist or anything like that. With your consent, they can electronically analyze your medications in seconds.

Your prescription history and answers to the health questions are how they determine you are medically eligible for coverage.

Most applications take less than 20 minutes, and they very often render an immediate decision.

The medium by which you apply varies by the company.

The application process will be in one of the following three ways:

Voice signature. You and your agent complete a phone interview with the insurance company. They take all your information, including authorizations. You ultimately sign your application using your voice. There’s no paperwork to sign. Everything is done in minutes using just your voice. All voice signatures will yield an immediate decision regarding your eligibility on that phone call.

Email signature. Your agent will collect all the information to fill out your application. At that point, the insurance company will send you an email where you can sign the application with the click of a few buttons. You can sign using your phone, tablet, or PC. Once you sign the application, it goes to underwriting. Some companies give an immediate decision, and some may take 1-4 business days before they render a decision.

Paper application. Although rare, there are some situations where a paper application via snail mail is necessary. In this scenario, your agent will collect all your information to fill out the application. Then the papers will be generated and sent to your address. You sign the documents and return them to our office. Once we get them, we call you to verify everything before they are submitted. Then we submit it and wait for a decision (usually 1-4 business days).

In case you didn’t notice, at no point will you have to let an agent into your house. You can fully apply and be accepted all from the comfort of your own home.

The real secret to finding the most affordable burial insurance policy is to compare prices from multiple companies before you make any decisions.

But here’s the kicker.

You cannot buy these policies directly from the insurance companies. If you were to call them and ask to sign up, they would merely inform you that you need to find an agent.

The cheapest burial insurance for seniors is solely available through agencies.

The best thing you can do to find the lowest cost on a final expense policy is to work with an independent agency representing many insurance companies.

Their job is to evaluate your health to determine all the final expense companies that would accept you.

Then they’ll present you with quotes from all those companies, so you can decide which one is best for you.

Working with an independent agency that specializes in funeral life insurance is just like shopping around.

The thing about it is, you aren’t the one doing the shopping per se.

Your agency does the comparing on your behalf.

When selecting an agency to work with, make sure they have the following attributes:

• They represent at least ten different funeral insurance companies
• Burial insurance is their focus (they aren’t a jack of all trades)
• They have at least two years of experience exclusively with this type of insurance
• They have good online reviews and ratings from other customers who have dealt with them
