On the other hand, if you wait 10 years, and apply, you will pay $48.00 per month. And at 78 years of age, then get prepared to pay a whopping $89.00 per month!. So, the more you wait, the more you will pay. Additionally, you may not qualify medically, if you already have a chronic medical condition. That would be the ultimate cost of Waiting. Therefore, do not procrastinate and get it done early.

Buy the Right amount of Final Expense Insurance Coverage

Most insurance agents who sell final expense insurance share their experiences with clients while in the field. One of those particular topics that always arises is the amount the final expense insurance policy should cover. The best way to calculate the right amount of insurance is to determine your final wishes and figure out average future inflation to provide an extra cushion for the future. For example. If you would like cremation with a memorial service when you pass, then we need to look at today’s cost. The average national price, for that kind of service, is around $4,750.00. Therefore, you should buy at least $7,000, and $10,000.00 would be ideal to counteract future inflation. On the other hand, if your final wish is to be buried, today’s cost is around $12,000.00, so you should buy at least $15,000 of coverage, and $20,000 would be the ideal amount to beat future price increases.
