Quick Answer
Burial insurance is a small whole life insurance policy — usually between $5,000 and $25,000 — designed specifically to cover funeral, burial, cremation, and other end-of-life costs so your family isn’t left paying out of pocket.
This ties directly into our complete final expense insurance guide, which we cover in detail separately.
Burial insurance (also called final expense insurance) is a type of permanent life insurance built for one purpose: making sure the people you leave behind aren’t stuck with funeral bills, cremation costs, or outstanding medical debt. Unlike a large traditional life insurance policy, burial insurance is intentionally small, which keeps the monthly premium affordable, even for people living on a fixed income.
Most burial insurance policies are "whole life," meaning your coverage never expires as long as premiums are paid, your rate is locked in and won’t increase with age, and the policy can build a small amount of cash value over time. Many plans also require no medical exam — just a few health questions, or in some cases none at all.
