No one likes bringing up the topic, but do you have a burial insurance policy in place? Will your loved ones have a financial burden (financial emergency) because the money is due immediately to pay for funeral and final expenses?

If you have a permanent whole life policy in place to help your family, then they can focus on being there for each other instead of having the added stress of figuring out to pay for everything and asking others for money.

Unlike home or auto insurance, many people don’t think to purchase burial insurance until it’s too late. An average funeral cost approximately $9,000 – $12,000 and the costs are only projected to keep increasing.

You can avoid passing on this financial burden of funeral costs and final expenses (including bills, mortgage payments until house is sold, etc…) by familiarizing yourself with your available burial / final expense life insurance options to be able to make a wise decision.

This guide will outline the best burial insurance and final expense companies for seniors in 2019 and provide you with the descriptive insights you need to make an informed decision.

AIG can be a great choice if you don’t qualify for any other policy. AIG only offers what they call guaranteed life insurance. All this means is that they don’t require any medical examinations or health screening, and you are guaranteed coverage.

Instead, customers will be placed on a 24-month waiting period before their policy will feature a death benefit. If the customer dies before this period elapses, AIG will refund all of the premium plus 10 percent interest tax free.

In addition, AIG is one of the only insurance companies that offer a terminal illness rider if a customer is suddenly given a life expectancy and a chronic illness rider if a disease prevents them from carrying out their daily tasks.

For high-risk individuals, reaching out to AIG may be a last resort if you can’t find reasonable coverage elsewhere. Though in times of health crises, it’s still a very great option.

7. Americo

Americo Eagle Premier can be another great choice for smokers. Their Eagle Premier coverage plan offers non tobacco rates to smokers for two years. If you quit smoking withing two years, you keep the non smoker rates forever.

To help you find the best burial / final expense life insurance policy, make sure you look for three main components:

1. The life insurance company you choose has high ratings and stable history.
2. It gives your family the most benefits available for your budget with immediate coverage as long as you qualify.
3. The policy’s price is better than what other burial insurance companies charge for the same coverage.

And remember, there isn’t one company that is best for everyone. Each final expense insurance company has different underwriting requirements and different premiums.
