Final Expense Insurance

Simple, permanent life insurance designed to help cover funeral costs and other end-of-life expenses.

Coverage Designed for Simplicity and Accessibility

Final expense insurance is a type of whole life insurance designed to help clients cover funeral costs, medical bills, or other final expenses. These plans are typically smaller face amounts, with simplified underwriting and a focus on ease of qualification.

For agents, final expense can be a practical way to serve clients who may not qualify for larger life policies while providing meaningful protection and peace of mind.

Carriers Offering Final Expense Solutions

New Horizons works with a range of carriers that offer final expense products with varying underwriting approaches, face amounts, and features.

A Straightforward Approach to Permanent Coverage

Final expense policies are typically whole life insurance plans that remain in force for the client’s lifetime as long as premiums are paid. Benefits are paid to beneficiaries and can be used for funeral costs, outstanding bills, or other needs.

Most plans offer:

  • Level premiums that do not increase over time
  • Fixed death benefit amounts
  • Cash value accumulation
  • Simplified or guaranteed issue underwriting options

Understanding Underwriting Options

Final expense products are often structured around different underwriting approaches, allowing agents to match clients with appropriate coverage based on their health and circumstances.

Simplified Issue

Clients answer a short series of health questions. Coverage is often available quickly, sometimes with day-one benefits for those who qualify.

Graded Benefit

For clients with certain health conditions, benefits may phase in over time. These plans can help provide coverage when traditional approval is not available.

Guaranteed Issue

No health questions or exams required. Acceptance is guaranteed within age limits, though benefits are typically limited in the early years of the policy.

Meeting Clients Where They Are

Final expense insurance can be a strong fit for:

  • Clients seeking smaller coverage amounts for specific needs
  • Individuals with health conditions that limit other options
  • Seniors looking for simple, easy-to-understand coverage
  • Families wanting to reduce financial burden at the time of loss

This product category allows agents to provide practical solutions while building long-term client relationships.
