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.
