Final Expense Insurance – Peace of Mind for End-of-Life Costs
What Is Final Expense Insurance?
Final expense (burial) insurance is a small whole life policy designed to help cover funeral and related costs. Typical coverage ranges from about $5,000 to $25,000, and qualification is often simplified—no medical exam, just health questions—making it a practical choice for seniors across Long Island and New York City.
How Final Expense Policies Work
Premiums are generally affordable and fixed for life, and coverage lasts as long as you do. The benefit can be used for funeral services, burial or cremation, medical bills, or small debts—whatever helps your family most in a difficult moment.
Final Expense vs. Traditional Life Insurance
Final expense focuses on modest, predictable costs; larger term or whole life policies may be better for mortgages or income replacement. Gail Siemer Insurance helps you decide which route fits your goals in Queens, Brooklyn, or up the Hudson in White Plains.
