What Happens When There's No Funeral Plan

The hardest moment for a family is also the most expensive. A small plan now spares them both.

Funeral costs over $10,000

Traditional burial in the Austin area averages about $7,912, and total costs often top $10,000 once add-ons are included.

Declined for life insurance

Many seniors are turned away because of age or health. Standard underwriting rules out coverage that families really need.

No plan in place

When a loved one dies suddenly, families face thousands in costs and impossible decisions in the middle of grief.

Overwhelmed by funeral homes

Comparing prices, reading contracts, and avoiding upsells at the worst possible time is a lot to ask of any family.

Burial Insurance Questions, Answered

Quick answers to what most callers ask first.

What is final expense insurance?

Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy (typically $5,000 to $35,000) designed to cover funeral, burial, and end-of-life costs. Premiums are fixed and never increase, and it builds modest cash value over time.

Do I need a medical exam to qualify?

No. Qualification is based on a one-page application with a few health questions. There is no medical exam. Most applicants qualify, including many with pre-existing conditions.

Can I get coverage with a pre-existing health condition?

Yes. Applicants with pre-existing conditions are regularly accepted. For certain severe conditions, a modified benefit plan is available with a 2-to-3-year waiting period that refunds premiums plus interest if death occurs during that period.

How much coverage can I get?

Funeral Advantage offers whole life coverage from $5,000 up to $35,000. Your monthly premium is based on your age, the coverage amount you choose, and your health profile.

How fast are claims paid?

Approved claims are paid within 24 hours. Compare that to the industry average of weeks or months. Your family has cash on hand for end-of-life expenses right when they need it.

What is the Funeral Consumer Guardian Society and does it cost extra?

The Funeral Consumer Guardian Society (FCGS) is a concierge planning service included free with every policy. At time of need, a Personal Funeral Advisor helps your family compare prices at up to three local funeral homes and review contracts to avoid overcharging.
