Final Expense Insurance—often referred to as "Burial Insurance" or "Funeral Insurance"—is a type of whole life insurance policy designed specifically to cover end-of-life costs. Unlike traditional life insurance, which aims to replace years of income or pay off a mortgage, this policy is focused on the immediate, practical expenses your family will face after you pass.
As of 2026, the median cost of a funeral with burial in the U.S. has reached approximately $8,300, making these policies an increasingly popular tool for seniors.
