Protect Your Family From the Financial Burden
Losing someone you love is difficult enough. Your family shouldn’t also have to worry about how they’re going to pay for the funeral, burial, cremation, medical bills, or other expenses that may come after you’re gone.
Final expense insurance can provide your family with money to help handle those costs, giving them one less financial problem to deal with during an already difficult time.
It’s a simple way to make sure the people you love aren’t left trying to find thousands of dollars at one of the hardest times of their lives.
Affordable Final Expense Insurance Options
Final expense and burial insurance policies are typically small whole life insurance policies designed specifically to provide permanent protection for final expenses and other needs later in life.
Coverage amounts can start at just a few thousand dollars and commonly range to $50,000 or more, depending on your age, health, budget, and the insurance companies available to you.
Whole life insurance is designed to provide permanent protection. As long as the policy remains in force and the required premiums are paid, the premium is designed to remain level and the death benefit does not decrease.
The sooner you take care of final expense coverage, the more options you may have. Applying at a younger age generally means a lower premium, and applying while your health is favorable can make it easier to qualify for the more affordable policies. As you get older or develop additional health conditions, coverage can become more expensive and some insurance policies may no longer be available to you.
That’s one reason it’s usually better to take care of final expense planning sooner rather than continuing to put it off. If you know you want to protect your family, getting it done while your age and health are working in your favor can make a meaningful difference.
Many final expense burial insurance policies are available without a medical exam, but that does not mean there are no health questions. Most policies will still ask about your medical history, medications, and other health information so the insurance company can determine whether you qualify and which policy may be the best fit.
Guaranteed issue whole life insurance is different. These policies generally do not require health questions or medical underwriting, which is why you may have seen them advertised on television. However, guaranteed issue policies typically have important limitations and are generally not our first choice when someone can qualify for other types of final expense coverage. We generally consider guaranteed issue coverage when a person’s health makes other options unavailable.
If you’re considering $10,000 of final expense coverage, for example, we can give you an idea of what that coverage may cost based on your age and circumstances. Your actual premium will depend on your individual situation and whether you qualify for the coverage.
For true final expense protection, we focus on permanent whole life insurance rather than term insurance that could expire while your family still needs the protection.
The goal isn’t to sell you more insurance than you need. It’s to help you find the right amount of affordable permanent protection that makes sense for your family goals.
Worried Your Health Will Keep You From Qualifying for Coverage?
Don’t assume you’re out of options. This is a common mistake that many people make.
Final expense insurance is designed with older adults in mind, and the policies are typically available without a medical exam. You don’t necessarily have to be in the best of health to qualify to get full first 1st day coverage.
Health conditions that could make other types of life insurance difficult to obtain may not prevent you from getting final expense coverage. As an independent insurance agency, we work with multiple insurance companies and can look at your individual situation to help find the companies and policies that may be a good fit.
You don’t have to know which company will accept you. That’s what we’re here to help you determine and we excel at.

More Than Funeral and Burial Expenses
Final expense insurance doesn’t have to be used only for a funeral or burial.
Maybe you want to leave something behind for your children or grandchildren. Maybe your spouse will need help with the mortgage, a car payment, household bills, or the things you used to take care of around the house.
Sometimes the money simply gives your family breathing room while they adjust to life without you.
The death benefit can be used for whatever financial needs matter to your loved ones.
That’s why final expense insurance can be about more than paying for a funeral. It’s about making sure the people you love have some financial security when you’re no longer there to provide it—and a last act of love.
Why Work With an Independent Insurance Agent?
You don’t have to choose a final expense policy simply because you received a mailer or saw an advertisement from one insurance company.
As an independent insurance agency, Maple Valley Insurance Group can compare final expense insurance options from multiple companies. That gives us the flexibility to look at your age, health, budget, and desired coverage and help you find an option that fits your situation.
If you have health concerns, don’t try to decide on your own whether you can qualify. Let us do the comparison for you.
