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!

If you have loved ones, such as children or a spouse, who may be affected by expenses like bills, car payments, or mortgage, it’s important to consider final expense life insurance. This can help ensure that they aren’t burdened with financial stress during a difficult time.

The VA provides coverage of up to $968 for funeral expenses, unless the death is service-connected, in which case they may cover up to $2,000. However, the average cost of a traditional funeral with burial is approximately $8,300, and can exceed $15,000 when including additional expenses like cemetery plots, vaults, and markers. On the other hand, a basic cremation is more affordable, with the median cost around $6,300 for a cremation with a service. So that could be a huge financial stress for your loved ones.

Your coverage will begin immediately on the same day you call, with no waiting periods or delays.

As part of the process of getting you a quote, I reach out to multiple carriers to ensure you receive the best possible rate and increase your chances of approval.

With the VA, there is typically a 2-year waiting period. However, if you choose one of my carriers, your loved ones in charge of the funeral won’t have to wait more than a few days for the payout.

With my process, there’s no need for a physical exam! I simply ask a few basic health questions, along with some questions about your health habits, and you can answer them to the best of your ability.

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.

Getting final expense coverage felt overwhelming at first, but the help was solid and friendly.

Did you know?

To get coverage starting the same day, the application must be submitted by a licensed underwriter who is trusted by the insurance carriers.

The VA pays for about 10% of an average burial cost. Are you looking to cover the rest of your final expenses?

Did you know that companies like AARP, VA Life, Globe Life, and Colonial Penn require you to pay premiums for two years before your coverage begins?
