Final Expense Insurance for Rio Linda families.

✓ Benefit paid to the person you name, not the funeral home
✓ Premium generally level for the life of the policy

What a final expense policy actually pays for.

The benefit is paid in cash to whoever you name, and they decide how it gets spent. Most families settle the funeral home invoice first, then use what is left on whatever else is outstanding.

Questions

Final expense questions

Do I need a medical exam for final expense insurance?

Most final expense policies use simplified underwriting based on a health questionnaire rather than a medical exam, though this varies by carrier and by your health history.

Who is final expense insurance for?

It is most often bought by older adults who want a manageable premium and a benefit sized specifically to funeral and burial costs rather than to replacing an income.

Does the rate ever go up?

On a whole life final expense policy the premium is generally level for the life of the policy, though this depends on the specific carrier and product Ron places you with.

How fast does the money reach my family?

Timing depends on the carrier and on how quickly the death certificate is filed. The point of the product is that it settles well ahead of an estate, because the funeral invoice comes due long before probate finishes.
