A rate locked for life
These are whole life policies. Once issued, the premium doesn't climb with age and the benefit doesn't shrink.
Usually no medical exam
Most plans are approved on health questions alone. Coverage options exist even if you've been declined before.
Paid directly to your family
The benefit goes to the person you name, tax-free in most cases, and they decide how to use it — funeral home, mortgage, or anything else.
Answer a few questions
Under two minutes. No account, no document uploads, no credit check.
We call you back
We go through what you need and match you with one licensed independent agent in your state who handles your type of coverage — not a list of twelve companies that all call you.
They do the shopping
That agent brings you real numbers and explains the tradeoffs. If your current coverage is already the best fit, a good agent tells you so.
Our partner agents are licensed in Washington and Oregon and work with households and businesses across the metro, including Portland, Vancouver, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Camas, Ridgefield, Battle Ground, Salmon Creek, and Longview. Because the two states have genuinely different rules — Oregon requires personal injury protection on auto policies, Washington runs workers' compensation through a state fund rather than private carriers — working with an agent who writes on both sides of the river matters more here than in most markets.
Commonly between $10,000 and $25,000, which is sized around a funeral, burial or cremation, and a cushion for remaining bills. The National Funeral Directors Association tracks median funeral costs in the five-figure range nationally, and the Pacific Northwest runs at or above that. Your agent can help you size it against what your family would actually face rather than against a sales target.
There are generally three tiers: level benefit for good health, graded or modified for moderate conditions, and guaranteed issue, which asks no health questions but pays a limited benefit during the first two to three years. Almost everyone is eligible for something, but the tier changes the price significantly, so honest answers on the application matter — a misstatement can void a claim.
No, and the difference matters. A pre-need contract is money held by a specific funeral home for specific goods. A final expense policy is cash paid to the person you name, portable if you move and usable for anything. Some families use both.
The agents we work with are told plainly that one conversation and honest numbers is the deal. If you feel pressured, tell us — we stop referring to any agency that leans on people. That's not a slogan, it's how the referral relationship stays worth anything.
