Final Expense Life Insurance

What is Final Expense Life Insurance?

Final expense life insurance is a life insurance policy with a death benefit of $25,000 or less. More importantly, a final expense life insurance policy will reduce the financial burden on your loved ones. For example, the insurance will provide a source of cash to pay for final expenses such as burial costs, funeral expenses, debt settlement, and sometimes, leave a gift for loved ones.

Life Insurance Company Financial Health

When selecting a final expense life insurance, one of the most important aspects is confidence that the insurance company will be in business for years to come. With this in mind, to judge the financial health of a life insurance company, look at the company’s ratings from companies such as A.M. Best, Moody’s, and Standard & Poor’s. Accordingly, A.M. Best has 15 rating levels. Moody’s financial rating system has 21 levels. And Standard & Poor’s has 20 rating levels.

We offer final expense life insurance from three top-rated life insurance companies:

Gerber, Mutual of Omaha, and Transamerica Life Insurance.

A.M. Best rates Gerber Life Insurance as an A-rated company.

A.M. Best rates Mutual of Omaha Life Insurance as an A+rated company. They have a rating of A1 from Moody’s. And Mutua of Omaha has a rating of A+ from Standard and Poor’s.

Furthermore, A.M. Best rates Transamerica Life Insurance Company as an A-rated company. They have a rating of A1 from Moody’s. And Mutua of Omaha has a rating of A+ from Standard and Poor’s.

Ratings are important. However, they are not foolproof. An A-rated company’s financial stability does not guarantee it will avoid collapse. But the bankruptcy of a well-rated life insurance company is extremely rare.
