Lasting Legacy: Life Insurance for Retirement
Like the ancient redwoods of Sonoma, your legacy stands strong. Protect what you've built and spare your family the burden.
You've spent a lifetime building something worth protecting
You've worked hard. Raised a family. Built a home in Sonoma Valley. You deserve peace of mind, not worry about what happens next.
But you've seen it happen. A loved one passes, and the family is left scrambling—funeral costs, final medical bills, debts to settle. You don't want that for your children.
Imagine this: Everything is handled
Your final wishes are documented. Your insurance is in place. When the time comes, your family receives a check—no waiting, no stress, no financial burden.
They can grieve without worrying about money. They can honor your memory the way you deserve. Your legacy stays intact.
That's the peace of mind final expense insurance provides.
What Final Expense Insurance Covers
Your legacy deserves protection. Here's what your coverage handles for your family.
Funeral & Burial Expenses
Funeral home services, casket or cremation, burial plot, memorial service—these costs add up quickly. In Sonoma County, the average funeral runs $10,000 or more.
Your insurance covers it all, so your family doesn't have to choose between honoring you properly and paying their own bills.
Final Medical Bills & Debts
Medicare doesn't cover everything. Hospital stays, hospice care, and final medical treatments can leave behind thousands in bills.
Final expense insurance ensures these bills don't fall on your spouse or children. Your coverage pays them off immediately.
Estate Settlement & Legal Costs
Probate fees, attorney costs, executor expenses—settling an estate takes time and money. Without liquid funds, your family might need to sell assets at the worst possible time.
Life insurance pays out quickly, giving your family cash to handle everything while your estate goes through probate.

Common Questions from Sonoma Seniors
What is final expense insurance?
Final expense insurance (also called burial insurance or funeral insurance) is a type of whole life insurance designed specifically to cover end-of-life costs like funeral expenses, medical bills, and outstanding debts. It typically offers smaller coverage amounts ($5,000-$25,000) with simplified underwriting, making it easier for seniors to qualify.
Can I get life insurance if I have health issues?
Yes. Many final expense policies offer guaranteed issue options with no medical exam required. While premiums may be higher than traditional policies, you can still secure coverage to protect your family regardless of your health history. We'll help you find the right policy for your specific situation.
How much does final expense insurance cost for seniors?
Final expense insurance typically costs between $30-$150 per month depending on your age, coverage amount, and health status. For example, a 65-year-old in good health might pay around $50-70/month for $10,000 in coverage. We work with multiple carriers to find you the most affordable options in Sonoma County.
Is final expense insurance better than a savings account for funeral costs?
Final expense insurance provides immediate coverage from day one, even if you've only paid one premium. A savings account requires years to accumulate sufficient funds and could be depleted by other expenses. Insurance also locks in your coverage amount regardless of inflation, while funeral costs continue to rise. For most seniors, insurance provides more certainty and peace of mind.
Will my final expense policy cover me if I move out of Sonoma County?
Yes. Life insurance policies provide coverage nationwide, regardless of where you move. Your coverage remains active as long as premiums are paid, whether you stay in Sonoma Valley or relocate to be closer to family elsewhere in California or another state.
