What it is.
Final expense is generally a smaller whole-life policy intended to help with funeral costs, medical bills, and other final obligations. Underwriting may be simplified, but approval and benefits still depend on health answers, policy terms, and carrier rules.
The tradeoffs.
- Lower benefit amounts
- Cost per dollar of coverage may be higher
- Some policies include graded or limited early benefits
