What a funeral actually costs
An all-in traditional funeral with burial, with the cemetery counted (plot, opening and closing, vault, headstone), runs $15,250 to $17,200 depending on the state (Memorial Merits Funeral Cost Index 2026, released October 6, 2026). That is the figure families are actually handed — not just the funeral home's part.
What final expense does, plainly
Whole life coverage, in smaller amounts, for final expenses. For guaranteed-issue plans: very limited or no health questions, and no medical exam — ever. Simplified-issue plans ask just a few questions. You can compare rates without giving your name or phone number.
Who this is for
People between 45 and 85 who want final expense coverage, including people who have been told no elsewhere because of health history. If you were told you could not get life insurance, compare anyway — you may still qualify for a guaranteed-issue plan.
By age: what changes
In your 60s: income protection and final expenses both matter. In your 70s: focus shifts to final expenses and legacy; guaranteed issue becomes more common. In your 80s: simplicity and certainty matter most; final expense or guaranteed issue.
