Life insurance

Life insurance options for every stage of life.

We help individuals and families compare term life and final expense options. Term life provides temporary coverage for income protection and large obligations; final expense provides simplified permanent coverage designed for funeral and end-of-life costs.

Two product categories

How term life and final expense compare.

Term life and final expense serve different needs at different stages. Each is described below in plain language so you can see which lines up with your situation.

Term Life

Temporary protection for the years that matter

Term life pays a death benefit if the insured passes during a fixed coverage period — typically 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years. There is no cash value; the policy expires at the end of the term unless renewed or converted. Premiums are usually level for the term length.

Typical use
Income protection during working years, mortgage payoff, dependent years.
Typical age range
25 – 65
Face amount
$100,000 – $2,000,000+
Underwriting
Full underwriting; medical exam may apply
Cash value
No

Final Expense

Simplified coverage for funeral and final costs

Final expense insurance is a smaller-face-amount whole life policy designed for end-of-life expenses. Underwriting is simplified — typically a short health questionnaire rather than a full medical exam. Coverage is permanent and builds limited cash value.

Typical use
Funeral costs, final medical bills, small debts; pre-need funeral planning.
Typical age range
50 – 85
Face amount
$5,000 – $25,000
Underwriting
Simplified-issue; some policies require no medical exam
Cash value
Yes (limited)

Decision factors

When to consider each product.

These are decision factors, not recommendations. The right answer depends on your specific obligations, age, health, and family situation. A licensed advisor can walk through your circumstances with you.

Term life makes sense when

  • You have a time-bounded financial obligation — mortgage years, dependent years, working years to retirement.
  • You need a larger face amount than final expense provides ($100,000+).
  • You can pass medical underwriting and want a lower premium per dollar of coverage.
  • You are protecting income that another person depends on.

Final expense makes sense when

  • You want to ensure funeral and end-of-life expenses are funded separately from other assets.
  • You are over 50 and a smaller face amount ($5,000 – $25,000) fits the need.
  • Health conditions make full term life underwriting difficult.
  • You prefer permanent coverage that does not expire.
