What is Life Insurance?
Life Insurance protects a policy owners loved ones (beneficiaries) in the event of their passing. There are many different types of life insurance, each best suited for a specific time in your life.
Final Expense
Final Expense, sometimes referred to as "funeral insurance", is a type of whole life insurance designed for older adults who would like to help cover their funeral expenses. It usually offers a relatively low monthly premium for a benefit that is around the cost of the average funeral in their area.
Like most types of life insurance, the sooner you get your policy, the more likely you are to pay a lower premium for more benefit.

Term Life Insurance
Term Life Insurance is a type of life insurance that lasts for a predetermined amount of time known as a "term". The benefit will be paid out if the policy owner passes during the term. There is usually no benefit after the term unless the policy has been renewed.
Term Life tends to have a high payout relative to its' monthly premiums. This option is usually best for young families who want to cover their family without breaking their monthly budget.
