How Life Insurance Can Help with End-of-Life Expenses
Life insurance can play a vital role in covering end-of-life costs, depending on the type of policy you choose. Both term and whole life insurance policies from Aspire Finance offer a lump sum death benefit that can help your loved ones cover outstanding medical bills, funeral expenses, and other final costs. While these funds can't be used directly for palliative or hospice care at the moment they’re needed, they provide crucial financial relief after you pass. Term life is ideal for larger coverage over a set period, while whole life offers lifetime protection with added cash value benefits—especially helpful for seniors planning long-term support.
