How Much Does Final Expense Insurance Cost?

Final expense insurance is priced primarily around three things: your age, your health, and how much coverage you choose.

Because it's whole life insurance with a fixed premium, the price you're quoted today is generally the price you'll pay for the life of the policy — it won't increase as you get older, and your coverage amount won't decrease either.

What moves the price

• Age at the time you apply — the earlier you apply, the lower the locked-in rate tends to be
• Health history — most plans use a short questionnaire rather than a medical exam, and certain conditions may affect pricing or which plan tier you qualify for
• Coverage amount — most families choose somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000, though smaller and larger amounts are both available
• Gender and tobacco use — both are standard rating factors across nearly all life insurance products

Getting an actual number

Because pricing depends on your specific situation, the only way to get an accurate figure is a real quote — generic averages you'll find online can be misleading since final expense pricing varies a lot carrier to carrier. A licensed advisor can walk through your age, health, and budget and show you real, current options in a few minutes.
