What Is a Good Final Expense Insurance Company?
When comparing final expense insurance, it is easy to focus on the monthly premium.
But the insurance company itself matters too.
You’re buying a promise that may not be used for many years, so it makes sense to look beyond the advertisement.

Financial strength
An insurance company needs to be financially sound enough to meet its obligations.
Independent financial-strength ratings can give consumers another way to evaluate an insurer.
Clear policy terms
You should be able to understand:
What the premium is
What the death benefit is
When the full benefit begins
What is guaranteed
What happens if you stop paying
If those answers aren't clear, ask questions before applying.
Complaint history
State insurance departments track consumer complaints and other information about insurers.
This can provide another useful piece of information when comparing companies.
Claims service
Eventually, the real purpose of the policy is to pay a claim.
A company's history of serving policyholders and handling claims is therefore worth considering.
Coverage for seniors
Not every company approaches older applicants the same way.
Some may be more accommodating to certain health conditions or age ranges than others.
That is one reason comparing more than one insurer can be useful.
The lowest premium isn't necessarily the whole story
Suppose two companies offer $15,000 of coverage.
One has a lower premium.
But the other may have different benefit timing, guarantees or policy features.
The lower price alone doesn't tell you which policy is a better fit.
A simple checklist
When looking at a final expense insurance company, consider:
Financial strength
Complaint history
Clear policy terms
Guaranteed benefits and premiums
Claims service
Affordability
And remember: the company and the policy are two separate things to evaluate.
A reputable insurer can offer policies that differ significantly in price and design.
The bottom line
Don't choose an insurance company based solely on its television advertisement, name recognition or monthly premium.
Look at the company, the policy and the cost together.
