What is final expense insurance?

A final expense insurance policy is a product designed to pay the bills associated with the death of the covered individual.

The policy benefits could be used to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, burial expenses, cremation expenses, or other expenses that come up around the time an individual dies.

What is Funeralwise.com offering final expense planners?

Managers of Funeralwise.com say FEPSA advisors will get more information and tools than consumer planning system users.

The professional version includes a simple planner; a system that can produce a detailed, customized plan; a cost estimation system that draws on industry cost benchmarking data; and other tools.
