The face amount is the quantity your policy is worth and how much money is paid to your beneficiaries.
A graded death benefit on a whole life insurance policy pays a percentage of the policy’s full death benefit if death occurs from natural causes during the first two years after you purchase the policy.
A limited death benefit on a whole life insurance policy pays a portion of the policy’s full death benefit if death occurs from natural causes during the first two years after you purchase the policy.
Sometimes known as funeral insurance or burial insurance, Final Expense insurance is a type of whole life insurance that alleviates the burden on your family by covering funeral costs — and an array of other expenses. Your family can decide how to dispense the money, which can be used for unpaid bills, medical expenses, and even college tuition for children or grandchildren. If they choose to use it for your funeral, they can make arrangements with any funeral home.
Final Expense insurance is a form of permanent insurance that can help you cover a funeral, legal fees, medical bills, and more. Policies generally range from $1,000 to $25,000 and carry cash value that builds over the life of the policy. The amount is paid as part of the death benefit to a loved one or can be cashed out for part of its value after a specified time period.
If you’re looking to invest less than you would on a larger life insurance policy yet still want to be well protected, Final Expense insurance could be enough to meet your needs. Final Expense life insurance can help you to cover funeral costs and a few extra bills. To know how much to buy, you’ll want to accurately estimate funeral costs. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, you should budget around $8,800 for traditional funeral services. If you’re currently under medical care, you may want to add extra coverage for pending bills, too.
