Why it matters
Because it's sized for a specific, smaller need, final expense insurance is often more accessible for older applicants or those with health conditions than a large term policy.

Final Expense Insurance
Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy, often guaranteed or simplified issue, designed to cover funeral and end-of-life costs rather than income replacement.
Example
Someone in their 70s without existing life insurance might choose a final expense policy specifically to avoid leaving funeral costs to their family.
Common mistake
A common mistake is buying final expense coverage sized like income-replacement life insurance -- it's generally meant for a smaller, specific cost, not broader financial needs.
