What Options Are There For Life Insurance For Seniors Over 80?
Yes, you can buy life insurance for seniors over 80. At 80+, whole life insurance is usually the only kind available.
Most seniors at this age only need life insurance to cover funeral costs, so you’ll often see policies at this age referred to as burial insurance plans or final expense insurance.
Here’s how a whole life plan over 80 life policy will work:
- Premiums are fixed and cannot increase.
- Coverage guaranteed never to decrease.
- Policy can’t expire due to age.
- Builds cash value that you may borrow from
Since it’s life insurance, the result will be a tax-free cash payment directly to your beneficiary(s).
Technically the money can be used for anything. There are absolutely no restrictions on how the money is spent.
Paying for a funeral? Great because no funeral home will refuse cash.
Paying off a bill of some kind? Great because no debtor will refuse cash.
We think you get the point by now. Cash is king, and that’s exactly what an over 80 life policy will provide!
If there happens to be money left over, it will remain with your family to use as they see fit.
What about final expense or burial insurance?
Anytime you hear the words “burial insurance,” “final expense,” or “funeral insurance,” know that all these labels mean the same thing.
It’s all still life insurance.
Final expense for seniors over 80 is just a whole life policy.
There is no type of insurance for burial expenses that is not life insurance.
How Much Can You Buy At This Age?
Understand that your exact options depend on your age, state of residence, and health.
Having said that, $2,000 is generally the minimum amount of senior life insurance over 80 that someone could buy.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, $100,000 in coverage is generally the maximum (and it wouldn’t be cheap).
Keep this in mind…
To get to higher amounts of coverage ($50K and up), you may need to buy multiple policies from multiple companies (which is okay to do).
In case you didn’t know, every insurance company has a minimum and maximum amount of coverage they will issue on any individual.
For the over 80 crowds, most carriers max out at $15-$40k. That’s why if you want a higher amount of coverage, you’ll likely need to buy more than one policy.

How To Get No Waiting Period Life Insurance Policies For Seniors Over 80
It’s possible to get a policy that has immediate coverage even for folks in their 80’s.
Here’s the only way to do it…
To get no waiting period coverage, you must apply with an insurance company where you answer questions about health and are accepted. Also, you must apply via an agent. You cannot get no waiting period coverage by dealing directly with the insurer.
You don’t have to take an exam, but you do need to complete a health questionnaire.
There are no exceptions to this rule.
Any policy where they do not ask about health will always have a 2-3 waiting period.
Understand that some websites will flat out lie to you about this to get you to click or call them.
It’s sad but true. They only do this to make money (they get paid when you call or click on their “get quotes” button).
Again, you must apply with a company where you’re answering health questions and are subsequently approved.
You might be wondering…
Why do you have to work with an agent versus dealing directly with the insurance company?
Plans that have health questions are only sold via licensed agents. They do not offer these plans direct.
With that in mind, if you ever deal directly with the insurance company (without talking to an agent), it will be a guaranteed acceptance plan that has no health questions.
Again, guaranteed issue plans with no health questions don’t have immediate coverage. They all have a 2-3 year waiting period clause (no exceptions).
If you want immediate coverage, call us at 1-800-644-2926, and one of our friendly agents will figure out if it’s possible in less than 60 seconds.

Companies That Issue New Coverage To Seniors 86-90
There are only two companies that will issue a new life insurance policy to someone older than 85.
You need to know the following going into this:
- You must be in relatively good health. It’s very risky for them to take on applicants at this age, so they can’t afford to accept applicants who have serious health issues.
- $10,000 is the most amount of coverage each of these companies will offer to applicants who are 86+.
Aetna
Most people associate Aetna with health insurance. It’s understandable given that they are one of the largest providers of health insurance in the world.
Aetna has a subsidiary company called American Continental Insurance Company. This company is one of the two that issues final expense life insurance to folks older than 85.
If you’re between 86-89, we can help you buy coverage with Aetna. Call us at 1-800-644-2926.
Security National Life
Although they are nowhere as renowned as Aetna, SNL is still a very secure and reputable life insurance company.
Moreover, they are the only other carrier that will touch an applicant who is older than 85.
Even more, they are the only company that issues new coverage to a 90-year-old! Aetna stops at 89.
The downside with SNL is they require an agent meets with you in person to apply. This is why we don’t represent them.
Watch Out For These Offers For Life Insurance Over 80 Years Of Age
Many insurance organizations are tripping over themselves to sell bottom-of-the-barrel senior life insurance over 80 policies to anyone who will buy without doing their research.
The reason they do this is simple.
At 80, they know you are probably very willing to take an offer simply because of your age. They are banking on you, expecting not to qualify.
Then they come along with these nice “offers,” and boom, you scoop it up thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
If you receive any of these “offers,” run because 99% of the time, there are much better options available.
Anything through the mail
Anyone aged 50 and up will forever receive offers via mail to buy life insurance where your acceptance is guaranteed.
While this sure sounds nice, it comes at a high cost.
If you buy a life policy for someone over 80 via mail, it will always have a 2-3 year waiting period. Also, it will almost certainly cost much more compared to buying a policy through a licensed agent.
Colonial Penn
Everyone knows of Colonial Penn because Alex Trebek is featured in their commercials. Sadly, just because they have Alex as their company’s face does not mean their life insurance is superior.
In fact, the opposite is true.
For seniors over 80, Colonial Penn plans all have three major drawbacks:
- There is a mandatory two-year waiting period.
- It’s costly relative to other options out there.
- They won’t allow you to buy hardly any coverage amount (Roughly $7,500 is the max they offer for an 80-year-old female).
Simply put, there is no scenario where someone in their 80’s should buy Colonial Penn coverage for those three reasons.
There are significantly better options available from dozens of other insurance companies.
Lincoln Heritage
Lincoln Heritage is a big player in the final expense insurance business. They advertise on TV, through the mail, and online.
While they have done an excellent job selling a lot of insurance, it’s not because it’s the best out there.
There are two big reasons you wouldn’t want to go with Lincoln Heritage if you’re trying to find life insurance for someone aged 80 or more.
- Even for healthy folks, their coverage costs much more compared to other insurers.
- Their underwriting is not favorable. Many seniors with common health issues are forced into their costly plan with a two-year waiting period.
You can see their prices here along with their underwriting if you want further proof.
Mutual Of Omaha Direct
Mutual of Omaha is another great insurance company. Like AIG, we also represent Mutual of Omaha.
Understand that you are dealing with their no health question plan whenever you deal with Mutual of Omaha directly.
That means it has a two-year waiting period and, in most cases, is more expensive compared to a plan with health questions.
The Mutual of Omaha Living Promise immediate coverage plan is only sold via licensed agencies such as Choice Mutual.
It has health questions which means that if you’re approved, it comes with immediate coverage. Also, it will generally cost less than their no health question plan.
Now understand this.
Mutual of Omaha does not sell its immediate coverage plan direct. It’s only sold via licensed agencies.
Mutual of Omaha direct only sells a no health question guaranteed acceptance plan that has a 2- year waiting period.
How To Find The Best Burial Insurance For Seniors Over 80
If you want to get the best price on a funeral policy for over 80, you have to find which company is most accepting of your health issues.
We say this because it’s prevalent for folks this age to have dealt with some serious health conditions.
For example, blood thinners are unbelievably common, especially at this age.
Many burial insurance companies will charge you a higher premium (or decline you) because of a prescription for Plavix, Warfarin, or Coumadin.
Ultimately, the goal is to identify a list of final expense companies that sell life insurance for the elderly over 80 that have absolutely no issue with any of the medications you take or any of your health issues.
Once you have that list, it’s just a matter of selecting whichever company is cheapest.
Here’s the thing you must understand…
It’s just not possible for you, the consumer, to determine which carriers will approve you and which ones won’t. Only a licensed agent can do that.
To find the best burial insurance for seniors over 80, you must consult with an experienced final expense agency that represents multiple insurance companies.
An independent agent will collect some basic information about your health to determine which companies will approve you.
Then they’ll recommend which one will offer the best rates.
Choice Mutual can help.

How Much Does A Funeral Cost?
If you’re looking for coverage to ensure end-of-life costs are paid for, it is important to know how much a funeral costs.
The truth is, they cost a lot!
According to the NFDA, a funeral’s median cost is $8755, which includes a vault.
That’s a hefty bill.
Cremations are cheaper, but even those aren’t cheap. The average cremation in 2020 is $6,260 (which includes the service itself).
Final funeral costs are important to consider when you are getting life insurance quotes for seniors over 80.
Assuming you can afford it, you ideally want to purchase as much coverage as needed to pay for your desired services.
Other end of life costs to consider
Outside of the cost of the funeral itself, other bills might need to be taken into account. 
Here are just some examples you should consider when preparing for end-of-life costs.
- Credit card debt
- Medical bills
- Body transportation
- Travel expenses for out of town relatives
- Income loss
In an ideal setting, you will be able to afford as much coverage as it takes to pay for all costs that might occur upon your passing.
However, if your budget will not allow you to buy all the coverage you want, buy what you can afford.
Something is better than nothing.
It’s essential to choose a plan that has a comfortable monthly payment. Funeral life insurance for over 80 is no different than health, home, or auto insurance.
Your coverage is only good as long as you can make your monthly payments.
How To Apply For Life Insurance For Over 80 Years Old
Applying for coverage in your 80’s is super simple. In fact, it’s no different than if you were in your 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s.
There is no money due at the time of the application. The insurance companies allow you to decide when your payments begin.
Ultimately, the first step you must take is to contact an independent broker with free access to multiple insurance companies that are well suited for life insurance seniors over 80.
Whether you contact us or another agency, it’s generally a three-step process.
- Gathering health data and answering your questions.
- Complete the application for approval
- Wait for the approval.
Every agency will do things differently, but here’s how it works with us.
Step# 1
We’ll begin by finding out about your health (or for whoever you are shopping for). Once we know about the health of the proposed insured, we can identify which companies would offer the best burial life insurance for senior citizens over 80, given all the conditions you may deal with.
Please remember this because it’s huge.
Some policies have no health questions, and they are available to the elderly over 80. However, these policies almost always cost much more, and they won’t pay out benefits if you die within the first 24 months.
To get the best rates and immediate coverage, you must apply with a company that asks about your health.
This is why we begin by finding out about your health. Our goal is to match you with companies that do ask health questions and will approve you.
This way, you’ll pay less and have coverage that doesn’t have a two-year waiting period.
Step# 2
Once we know which companies look at your health the best, we will pull quotes from each one. Then we would communicate the prices with you to decide which company you want to go with and how much coverage you prefer.
Generally, we recommend going with whichever life insurance company is offering the lowest rate. However, the decision is yours regarding which company we apply with.
Step# 3
Once you have selected a plan, it’s time to apply. We would begin by going over the formal health questions that the insurance company will ask. After that, we would fill out the entire application with you to submit it to the insurance company.
Now
There are three options regarding how you sign the application. The process will vary with each company. With that, here are the three options.
- Website signature
- Voice signature
- Email signature
Regardless of which method the insurance company has in place, there are no medical exams, no papers to fill out, and no agent who will invade your private space.
Website Signature
In this scenario, we would fill out your application with you. Then you’ll log on to our website with an access code that we’ll give you. 
You type in your code which will display your application for you to review. Then you just click a button to sign it, and you’re done.
At this point, it will be 1-3 business days before we get the approval or denial.
Email Signature
Some companies have an e-signature process where the entire application is signed via email.
Once we have the application filled out with you, you get an email from the insurance 
company to sign it. You click on a link in the email that brings up your application. Then you just click a couple of buttons to sign it, which will submit it to the insurance company.
Companies that use an email signature generally come back with a decision within a few business days.
Voice Signature
Some insurance companies have a complete voice signature process where the application can be completely taken and signed entirely by voice.
Essentially, once we have the application filled out with 
you, we conference in the insurance company for a three-way call. They confirm all the information about the proposed insured, ask the health questions, and obtain some authorizations.
In general, companies that utilize a voice signature process will give you a final decision regarding your eligibility by the end of the call. These calls usually take anywhere from 15-20 minutes to complete.
What to expect after the application
After we have secured your approval, two things will happen.
- We send you a welcome packet.
- The insurance company you applied with mails you the actual policy that usually arrives at your house within 1-2 weeks.
We always send clients a welcome packet with your agent’s business card, a summary of your coverage, and some information about the insurance company.
We send this out immediately, so you would receive it within four 
business days.
The policy itself is usually mailed out right away by the insurer. It’s very uncommon for these insurance companies not to send the policy the moment you are approved.
You should expect to receive your policy within 10 business days.
Once you get the policy, we urge you to read it and check to make sure nothing is misspelled. If anything needs to be corrected, call us, and we will fix it immediately.
At the same time, if you have any questions about what is written in your policy, we encourage you to call us to resolve your questions.
At this point, you don’t need to do anything but store your policy somewhere safe and prepare for your first payment on whatever day you selected.
There is nothing you need to sign and send back.
You can rest easy now because you’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure your funeral expenses never become a financial burden on your family.

Most seniors who are 80+ can get a policy that has no waiting period.
Q: Does AARP have life insurance over 80?

Best of luck to you!
Tracie
need a final arrangement 10,000 policy for my mom who is 86 years old. no medical conditions except dementia. No meds
Choice Mutual
Hi Tracie,
Thanks for contacting us.
There are very few options for folks who are older than 85, but they do exist. For someone who has dementia (regardless of age) the only way they can get coverage is via a guaranteed acceptance policy. That is a policy that does not evaluate health. There are no health questions, exams, or anything.
Here’s the thing
There is no guaranteed acceptance company that will offer a policy to someone who is 86. If she were 85 or younger, she could, but since she is 86 she is unfortunately uninsurable.
Your only option to begin to prepare for your mother’s final arrangements is to try to paying on a plan directly with a funeral home.
I wish I could give you better news, but the combination of your mother’s age and dementia diagnosis means all life insurance options are unavailable.
Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call us at 1-800-644-2926.
Best of luck to you!

Would appreciate your response. Thanks.
Choice Mutual
Hi there Mrs. Pizarro,
Yes it would be possible to get immediate coverage based on what you said, but it will all depend on the details. We would need to know more information such as…
-Does he use oxygen?
-When was the pacemaker installed?
-Which medications is he taking?
-What is his height and weight?
-What state do you guys live in?
The answers to these questions will determine if you can get him a policy that has no waiting period. The best thing to do is call us at 1-800-644-2926 so one of our agents can gather that info and give you a firm answer to your question.

Nicki Benoit
I am Nick Rokich’s daughter and am interested in buying final expense insurance for my dad. He is in an assisted living. We understand there is a two-year waiting period. Phone number 1-208-***-****
Choice Mutual
Hi Nicki,
First, just because your dad is in his 80’s does not mean there will be a two year waiting period. The same is true for someone in an assisted living facility. Whether or not there is a waiting period is determined entirely by their health.

Hey Claudia,
We emailed you some quotes for an 84 year old woman. In addition, you can run quotes right on our website.
You should know however that the health of your mom is a HUGE factor that will determine which companies will accept her and precisely what the monthly cost will be.
You need to speak with an agent who can do that for you. Until then, you’ll never know if she’ll qualify for the rates you’re seeing.
Our toll free number is 1-800-644-2926. I suggest you call us, so one of our agents can figure this out for you in less than 2 minutes.

Doris H Nielson
I am interested in Mutual of Omaha Final expenses. Does the monthly amount remain same, and is it $10,000 policy for female age 83 @$121.31 a month…. I have no health issues except osteo-arthritis….take med for chloresterol..and some vitamins… do not call, just email me. thx
Choice Mutual
Hi Doris,
The monthly premium cannot increase, the coverage can’t decrease, and the policy will never expire. If all you have health wise is arthritis and cholesterol, you will easily qualify.
This policy from Mutual of Omaha is not sold directly by them. It’s only sold through agencies such as us. You will need to speak with an agent to purchase it.
Call us at 1-800-644-2926 and one of our agents will have you approved in about 15 minutes.
Thanks,
Ella James

Louis Stipp
I need a $50 – 100k policy with no waiting period. I have thyroid cancer which has been stable for over four years.I am 83.
Choice Mutual
Hi Louis,
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. We’ll be praying for you.
Unfortunately, if you currently have cancer there is no way to avoid a waiting period. You can get coverage via a guaranteed acceptance policy, but those all have a 2 year waiting period.
Rebekah
My husband asked me to try & find INSURANCE for his 82 year old mother. She is a non-smoker in good health other than narcolepsy that is controlled with medication. She is very active & still drives. She does use a cane outside of the house due to a broken hip around 10 years ago. Her mind is sharper than most people I know. (Her memory is incredible)
She would need around $25K in coverage, & is on a fixed income. Can we do the App. via e-mail? (She doesn’t use a computer, can we do it via my e-mail?) Over the phone would work if e-mail won’t. Thank you.
Choice Mutual

S J
3 weeks ago my mother passed away. While making arrangements my father & I discussed getting an additional $5000 on my father. He takes Coumadin is 87 & has been prostate cancer free for close to 10 years. Gets around great drives everywhere eats healthy & is active. Lives in Florida. Could I get an info packet for him on $5000. He has 1 policy for that amount so it would be to cover any potential remaining costs when the time comes. He is a Military Veteran
Choice Mutual
Hi SJ,
First, very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Your family will be in our prayers.
Unfortunately, the company we have that insures people over 85 will not accept someone taking Coumadin or any other prescription blood thinner.
There is another company that insures people over 85 called Security National Life. Your only option would be to call them to see if they’ll accept your dad (we don’t know if they’ll accept someone taking a blood thinner). We can insure people on blood thinners who are 85 and younger, but not over 85 🙁
Tell your father thanks for his service and we wish you both the best of luck!

Karl
My mother is 86, will be 87 in may of 2020, she is being treated for hypertension, diabetes 1 and Parkinsons, she is mentally alert and still can drive. I Would like to know what policies are available for her.
Thank You!
Anthony Martin
Hi Karl,
It is possible for us to get insurance for someone who is 86 or 87. That said, unfortunately your mother would not qualify due to her Parkinson's.
The carriers that accept Parkinson's have max age for new applicants of 85.
Sorry to give you this bad news. Your best bet would be to start some kind of pre-arrangement with a local funeral home.
Hope this helps.
Andy

He’s always been in good health going to the gym up till last year. His legs are a little weak and he uses a walker now. Oh he mass a glass eye from being on the police force many years ago an accident. That’s it. Do you think I could get life insurance policy without a 2 year waiting period?

Hi Sharon,
While we can potentially get coverage for someone who is 88, your father unfortunately wouldn’t qualify. At this age, they won’t accept someone who takes a prescription blood thinner (unless it’s aspirin).
