Life comes with enough challenges, getting insurance shouldn’t be one of them. With Final Expense Insurance, there are no medical exams, lab tests, or complicated health questions—just simple, straightforward coverage when you need it most.
Coverage for All Causes of Death

Final Expense Insurance covers you for accidental death from day one and for all causes of death after 24 months. If death occurs within the first two years from a non-accidental cause, premiums paid plus 3% are refunded. Death from suicide is not covered in the first two years and in this case the policy will refund the premiums paid.

Transportation Benefit Included

If you die more than 200 km from your primary residence, an additional amount of up to $2,000 will be payable to cover the expense of transporting your remains back to your primary residential area. This benefit is only payable after the 2nd year anniversary of the policy.

Lifetime Coverage

EverAssist™ Funeral Concierge + Final Expense Insurance offers coverage ranging from $5,000 and up to $50,000.

Single or Multi-life Coverage

If single coverage works for you, great. And for those who need it, we also offer multi-life cover for you and your partner.

Quick, Simple Claims Process

Your loved ones will get their benefit payouts quickly, because of a straightforward and simple claims process. They will have money on hand to cover funeral costs, unpaid bills, and other final expenses. This could be in as little as three working days.

No More Premiums After Age 100

Policy is fully paid-up after the policy anniversary closest to you turning 100.

Early Cash-out Options Available

After 5 years, you can surrender some or all of your coverage and receive cash back. The amount is guaranteed and grows each year. Policy loans may also be available after 5 years should you wish to keep your coverage.

Coverage That Fits Your Needs – and Your Budget

With our Final Expense Insurance, you can choose a coverage amount that suits your needs, from $5,000 to $50,000 if you’re between the ages of 18 and 75, or up to $25,000 if you’re between 76 and 80.

For $10,000 of coverage for a 50-year-old non-smoking female, the premium would be just $34.20 per month, which is $1.14 per day.

Why do I need Final Expense Insurance?
The average cost of a funeral in Canada for cremation is $5,000 – $8,000, and burial is $10,000 – $15,000, depending on the package and services you choose, and many funeral homes require upfront payment. These are significant sums, so having insurance coverage in place will relieve your family from the financial burden at a time of grief and emotional turmoil.
What is guaranteed issue final expense insurance?
Guaranteed issue final expense insurance is a permanent life insurance policy designed to cover end-of-life expenses, such as funeral services, cremation, burial, and medical bills. It can also help your beneficiaries pay off outstanding debts. This type of policy guarantees acceptance without medical exams or health questions.
How do funeral expense insurance and a pre-paid funeral plan differ?

They are distinctly different.

A pre-paid funeral plan is a way of organizing and paying for your funeral in advance, in line with your wishes, typically through a specific funeral home.

Instead, a final expense life insurance policy guarantees that your beneficiaries will receive a lump-sum payment (called a death benefit) when you die.

This money can be used to cover funeral costs or other expenses. It is more flexible — you’re not locked into a specific funeral home — and any funds remaining can be used to support your family in other ways.

Who qualifies for Guaranteed Issue Final Expense?
Canadian residents* between the ages of 18-80 are eligible. It’s that simple!

How long does the coverage last?

Does EverAssist Funeral Concierge + Final Expense Insurance offer a cash surrender value?

Your policy includes a savings component called cash value, which starts growing after the 5th policy anniversary as long as you pay your premiums. This cash value builds up inside your policy over time and can be accessed as cash if you choose to surrender (cancel) the policy—this amount is called the cash surrender value. Keep in mind, using your cash value or surrendering your policy will affect the amount your beneficiaries receive.
