What waiting costs
In the same published sample, the $10,000 price goes from $71 at 75 to $98 at 80 for women, and from $97 to $134 for men. Final expense prices are locked when you buy, so the age you buy at sets your price for life.
At 75, plans with health questions usually cost less than guaranteed issue. If you can answer the health questions, try those first. If not, a guaranteed issue plan still pays the full amount after the waiting period, which is often 2 years.
A funeral with burial had a national median cost of $8,300 in 2023. Funeral costs by state.
