What is Last Expense Insurance?

Last expense insurance pays a funeral cash benefit upon notification of the death of an insured family member to assist the family to manage the associated funeral expense burden. At a small premium, you will be able to transfer the financial risk that surrounds funeral expenses and ensure a smooth send-off for your loved ones.

This coverage provides much-needed relief from the burden of fundraising from friends, family or well-wishers to cater for funeral expenses. A Last Expense Comprehensive Plan is a practical and compassionate way to plan for the future.

It ensures that families are financially protected from the high costs of funerals, medical bills, and other end of life expenses. By securing this coverage, policyholders provide their loved ones with much-needed peace of mind, allowing them to focus on remembrance and healing rather than financial concerns.

You can purchase this coverage either as a group or an individual policy, making it accessible for families and organizations alike.

Why You Need Last Expense Insurance in Kenya

The average funeral in Kenya costs between KES 150,000 to KES 500,000, creating significant financial pressure on grieving families. Without proper planning, families often resort to taking loans, selling assets, or depending on community fundraising - all while dealing with emotional loss.

Important Consideration

Many traditional life insurance policies have waiting periods and may not provide immediate funds for funeral expenses. Last expense insurance is specifically designed to provide quick cash benefits precisely when families need them most - immediately after a loss.

By securing last expense insurance, you're not just planning for inevitable expenses - you're providing your loved ones with the gift of financial stability during one of life's most difficult moments. This allows them to honor your memory without the added stress of financial hardship.
