The Average Funeral in Texas Costs $9,000–$15,000

With over 3.9 million Texans over age 65 — and that number growing every year — final expense planning is one of the most important financial decisions a Texas senior can make. Most families simply don't have $10,000–$15,000 in liquid cash to cover an unexpected funeral.

Final expense insurance gives your beneficiary a modest, targeted death benefit paid directly to them — income-tax-free — to cover exactly these costs. No probate. No waiting. No out-of-pocket burden on your family.

Because it's whole life insurance, your premium is locked in forever. You pay the same rate at 85 as you did when you enrolled, and the policy never expires as long as you keep paying.

Texas Regulation Note
All final expense carriers in Texas are licensed and regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). Tower Hill Corp holds TX Agency License #2608479TX. Verify any agent at tdi.texas.gov.

Final Expense Insurance in Texas — FAQ

What is final expense insurance in Texas?

Final expense insurance in Texas is a small whole life policy designed to cover end-of-life costs — funeral, burial, outstanding medical bills, and other debts your family would otherwise pay out of pocket. Texas seniors ages 50–85 can qualify without a medical exam, and coverage ranges from $5,000 to $50,000. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) regulates all final expense policies sold in the state, ensuring consumer protections apply.

How much does burial insurance cost in Texas?

Rates depend on your age, gender, coverage amount, and health. A 65-year-old female in Texas typically gets $10,000 in coverage for $48–$78/month depending on carrier and health class. A 65-year-old male pays $68–$105/month for the same amount. Guaranteed issue policies cost more than simplified issue because no health screening is required. Tower Hill compares rates across multiple Texas-licensed carriers to find your best option.

Can I get final expense insurance in Texas with health problems?

Yes. Guaranteed issue final expense policies accept all Texans ages 50–85 with no health questions asked. If you have conditions like COPD, heart disease, cancer, or kidney disease that might disqualify you from traditional life insurance, guaranteed issue is specifically designed for you. A 2-year graded benefit period typically applies — if you pass away within the first two years, your beneficiary receives premiums paid plus interest rather than the full benefit.

What is the difference between final expense and burial insurance in Texas?

"Burial insurance," "funeral insurance," and "final expense insurance" all describe the same product in Texas — a small whole life policy designed to cover end-of-life expenses. The terms are interchangeable. Final expense is the broader term; burial or funeral insurance specifically emphasizes covering funeral home and cemetery costs.

Do I need a medical exam for final expense insurance in Texas?

No. Final expense policies available to Texas residents are either guaranteed issue (no health questions at all) or simplified issue (a few yes/no questions, no physical exam). Neither requires a doctor visit, blood draw, or any medical testing. Approval can happen the same day you apply.

How much final expense coverage do I need in Texas?

The average funeral in Texas costs $9,000–$15,000. Adding $5,000–$10,000 for outstanding medical bills, legal fees, and other final expenses, most Texas families find $15,000–$25,000 in coverage appropriate. If you also want to cover remaining debts or leave a small legacy, $25,000–$50,000 may be a better fit. Tower Hill offers a free needs assessment with no obligation.

Is final expense insurance whole life insurance in Texas?

Yes. All final expense policies in Texas are whole life insurance. They never expire as long as premiums are paid, accumulate a small cash value over time, and carry a level premium that never increases — critical for seniors on a fixed income. This is intentional: a policy designed for end-of-life planning should not be something you can outlive.

Does Texas regulate final expense insurance carriers?

Yes. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) licenses and regulates all insurance carriers and agents operating in Texas. Tower Hill Corp is licensed under TX Agency License #2608479TX. Every carrier we work with holds an active TDI license and is rated by A.M. Best. You can verify any carrier or agent license at tdi.texas.gov.
