Searching for the right life insurance

You choose a small, permanent coverage amount to help your loved ones cover final expenses. You pay modest fixed monthly premiums, and the policy stays in force for life.

When you pass away, your beneficiary receives a tax-free lump sum—typically $5,000 to $25,000—to cover your final expenses.

Benefits:

  • Lifetime coverage with no expiration date
  • Fixed, budget-friendly premiums
  • Fast, tax-free payout to your loved one
  • No medical exam required for most applicants
