There are many reasons to purchase life Insurance. Certainly, adults want to provide financial protection for their surviving loved ones and life insurance is the most affordable solution for doing this.

Another purpose for life insurance which applies to everyone is to cover final expenses that we all leave to surviving loved ones when we die. There is simply no affordable way to guarantee that the money will be available to pay for funeral and burial expenses and other final expenses when we die.

If you already have life insurance and didn’t consider the costs to cover final expenses, you are probably underinsured when it comes to providing financial protection for your family or loved ones. And if, for whatever reason, you are not carrying any life insurance, now is the time to purchase final expense insurance because it will never be cheaper to purchase than it is today.
