There is a cost for burying someone upon their death and according to recent survey of the National Funeral Director’s Association the average cost is around $8,000 including a burial, casket, headstone, funeral, memorial service, flowers and other end of life final expenses.

People between the age of 45 to 85 can buy up to $25,000 of guaranteed issue final expense insurance coverage with no health exam required and they won't have to answer any medical questions.
