🍂 DAY #5 — LIFE INSURANCE AWARENESS MONTH 🍂
Today, let’s talk about something that isn’t always easy to think about — final expenses.
When the time comes, your children and grandchildren will already be dealing with the emotions of losing someone they love. Paying for your funeral shouldn’t be another burden they have to carry.
💰 Did you know? The national median cost of a funeral with viewing and burial is approximately $8,300 — and that doesn’t include expenses such as the cemetery, burial vault, monument or marker, flowers, or obituary. Those additional expenses can push the total cost even higher.
A Final Expense Policy is typically a smaller whole life or permanent life insurance policy designed to be there when your family needs it most. The benefit can help cover:
⚰️ Funeral and burial expenses
🏥 Medical bills and other final expenses
💳 Outstanding debts
❤️ Other costs your family may face
Because whole life insurance is permanent coverage, it can remain in place for your lifetime as long as the policy requirements are met.
You may not need a huge life insurance policy. Sometimes having $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 or more specifically set aside for final expenses can make a tremendous difference for your family.
Your kids and grandkids should be able to focus on remembering you — not figuring out how they’re going to pay for your funeral. ❤️
Planning ahead is one more way to take care of the people you love.
