Small permanent policies to cover a funeral and final bills.
Final expense insurance is a small permanent life policy, often between $5,000 and $50,000, designed to cover funeral costs and final bills. Many are simplified issue (a few health questions) or guaranteed issue (no health questions).
Guaranteed-issue policies usually limit the death benefit in the first two years, so applicants who can answer health questions often get more for less with a simplified-issue policy.
