Burial Insurance has been around forever, however in the last 20 years or so the terminology and marketing of these types of policies have changed to FINAL EXPENSE INSURANCE.


Initially designed to be enough insurance to cover the cost of one's own burial, so one's death would not become a financial hardship on surviving family members. But as with anything, life becomes more complex and more complicated over time and the world continues to grow and evolve.  Nowadays, Final Expense Insurance can cover Credit Card Debt, be used to pay off Mortgages,,Automobile Loans, Student Loans, Medical Bills all in addition to just "Funeral Expenses".
