- Final expense plans require NO doctors, needles, blood tests, or physical examinations.
- Approval is determined through a few straightforward health questions and prescription checks.
- Your monthly premium is locked in permanently—it will NEVER increase as you get older.
- Your policy coverage never expires as long as monthly premiums are maintained.
A common misconception among seniors over 65 is that they are 'too old' or 'too sick' to qualify for affordable life insurance. They remember the traditional policies of their younger years that required blood draws, nurse visits, medical records requests, and weeks of underwriting.
Final expense insurance (often called burial insurance or funeral protection) was specifically designed to solve this problem for folks aged 50 to 85.
Because the coverage amounts are tailored to real-world funeral and final costs (typically ranging between $5,000 and $25,000), insurance carriers can offer simplified underwriting. In almost all instances, there is zero medical exam, no blood draw, and no scale.
Instead, we sit down—either by phone, video, or in person at your kitchen table—and walk through a series of yes-or-no health questions. Many conditions like controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and arthritis are readily accepted with immediate, day-one coverage.
Best of all, once your policy is issued, your monthly premium is permanently locked. Whether you live to 75, 85, or 100, your payment never increases by a single penny, and your benefit never shrinks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I qualify if I have diabetes or take blood pressure medicine?
Yes! Controlled diabetes and routine high blood pressure medications are very common among our Arkansas policyholders. In most cases, you can qualify for full, first-day coverage.
How are the funds paid out to my family?
The carrier pays cash directly to your chosen beneficiary, usually via direct deposit or overnight check within 24 to 48 hours of submitting a claim.
