What the VA covers, what it doesn't, and what your family would owe.
The VA pays a burial allowance as a reimbursement, weeks after the family has already paid the funeral home. Final expense coverage is a small life insurance policy sized to that gap, paid to your family within days, so the bill never lands on them. No medical exam on many options. Answer 4 quick questions and a licensed agent will call you today with your options.

Three things veteran families assume
Final expense coverage fixes that
- Your family receives a tax-free amount, usually within days of a claimPaid to the person you name, not to a funeral home. They decide how to use it.
- Coverage typically from $5,000 up to $50,000Sized to the funeral and the bills that follow, not to a mortgage. Your rate is set when the policy is issued.
- No medical exam on many optionsApproval may depend on your answers to health questions. Declined before? Different carriers give different answers.
- A licensed agent shops several carriers for youYou're not locked into one company's rate.

Quick answers
How much does it cost?
It depends on age, health, and the amount. You'll get real figures on the call, not a teaser. Nothing is quoted on this page because it would be a guess.
Is this a VA program?
No. The VA pays a burial allowance, $1,032 in 2026, as a reimbursement after the family has paid the funeral home. This is private life insurance that pays your family directly. We are not the VA and not affiliated with any government agency.
Does my spouse qualify?
Yes. Spouses and surviving spouses of veterans can apply on their own. The VA burial allowance was the veteran's benefit, so a spouse's own funeral is not covered by it.
Is there a waiting period?
It depends on the plan. Some pay in full from day one, some have a graded period in the first two years. The agent will tell you which applies before you decide.
I've been declined or I take medication.
Different carriers underwrite differently. Many options don't require an exam, though approval may depend on your answers to health questions. It's worth a ten-minute look.
Will I get spam calls?
No. Only Trevor Meaike's office contacts you, from one number, and you can reply STOP to any text at any time. We never sell your information.
Are you the VA?
No. We are an independent life insurance agency. We are not affiliated with the VA or any government agency.
