Final Expense


Final Expense!

What is it? It's the last expense you'll have on this earth.
Your funeral and associated expenses.

How about the term End Of Life Planning? I think that sounds a lot better.
For most of us in the life insurance business, we consider Final Expense
as a form of Life Insurance. That's partly true, but end of life planning
takes much more into consideration, like having your financial plan as
well as your actual last wishes planned out ahead of your death. When my
father passed away in the year 2000, I, as his executor, walked into the
funeral home and our funeral director told me that the only two decisions
I had to make, were, which of the three casket colors I wanted and the day
and time of the funeral service. That's because my father pre=planned and
pre-paid. I walked out of that funeral home and told my wife that I now
had a different opinion about pre-planning. My mother was saved from any
decision making and I didn't have to go into that dreaded show room. Daddy
had it all taken care of. WOW! What an act of love.

Through our association with the Dignity Planning Network, your clients can also
relieve their heirs, like my father did for us, from the added stress of
making last minute arrangements and trying to pay for something that in
most cases was not planned for. Give us a call and we'll be glad to tell
you about how you can help people and create a great lead source for
yourself.
