Final Expense Insurance

Final Expense Insurance for Seniors

Give your family the gift of peace of mind. Final expense coverage ensures your loved ones won't face financial hardship when the time comes — and Hilda makes it simple to get covered.

What Is Final Expense Insurance?

Final expense insurance — sometimes called burial insurance — is a type of whole life insurance designed specifically for seniors. It covers end-of-life costs like funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, and other debts so your family isn't left with unexpected financial burdens during an already difficult time.

Policies are typically smaller than traditional life insurance — ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 — and are much easier to qualify for. Most seniors can get covered regardless of their health history, with no medical exam required.

Why Seniors Choose Final Expense Coverage

Simple to qualify for, affordable to keep, and designed to protect the people you love.

No Medical Exam Required

Most final expense plans require only a few health questions — no blood draws, no doctor visits, no waiting on lab results.

Affordable Monthly Premiums

Coverage is designed to fit a senior's budget. Premiums are locked in and never increase, so you always know what you'll pay.

Guaranteed Acceptance Options

Even if you have serious health conditions, guaranteed issue plans are available — coverage cannot be denied based on your health.

Coverage That Never Expires

Unlike term life insurance, final expense policies are permanent. As long as you pay your premium, your coverage stays in force for life.

Fast Payout to Your Family

Benefits are paid directly to your named beneficiary — quickly and without the complexity of a large estate claim.

Flexible Use of Benefits

Your family can use the benefit for funeral costs, medical bills, credit card debt, or anything else they need — no restrictions.

What Does a Funeral Really Cost?

Many families are surprised by how quickly end-of-life expenses add up. A final expense policy ensures these costs don't fall on the people you love.

Funeral Service & Burial$7,000 – $12,000
Cremation$2,000 – $5,000
Outstanding Medical Bills$3,000 – $10,000
Legal & Estate Fees$1,000 – $3,000
Other Final Expenses$1,000 – $2,000

Costs vary by location and provider. These are national averages for planning purposes.
