Final expenses are a tough topic, but this made it way easier. Felt like they actually cared about vets like me.

I'm not great with insurance stuff, but they broke it down and made it make sense then and got me coverage the same day. Glad I got it done.

Still Unsure?
What if I already have coverage in place?+
If you already have coverage in place, that's perfectly fine. I'll still be happy to provide you with a quote and ensure you're with a reliable carrier offering great rates.
Do you have dependents who will be burdened by funeral expenses?+
If you have loved ones, such as children or a spouse, who may be affected by expenses like bills, car payments, or a mortgage, it's important to consider final expense life insurance. This can help ensure they aren't burdened with financial stress during a difficult time.
Did you know the VA only covers up to $900-$2k?+
VA burial benefits can help, but they often do not cover the full cost. For non-service-connected deaths on or after Oct 1, 2024, benefits may provide up to $978 toward burial/funeral expenses (eligibility-based). For service-connected deaths, the benefit is up to $2,000. Typical funeral costs are often higher, with median prices around $8,300 for a viewing plus burial or $6,280 for a funeral with cremation.
Get same day coverage, no waiting periods!+
Your coverage can begin immediately the same day you call, with no waiting periods or delays (when approved).
I stand by so many carriers approval is highly likely!+
As part of the process of getting you a quote, I reach out to multiple carriers to help you find the best possible rate and improve the chances of approval.
Policy payout in days after receiving necessary documents! Super EASY!+
VA benefits can take time and may not cover everything. With many private carriers, once a claim is filed and the required documents are received, payouts are often processed quickly helping your family avoid extra stress.
No medical exam is necessary, answer a few questions and we can get you quotes!+
With my process, there's no need for a physical exam. I''ll ask a few basic health and habit questions, and you''ll answer them to the best of your ability to get accurate quotes.
