Burial Whole and Cash Value Life Insurance 101:
Comparing, Quoting, and Joining: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Policy
Key Takeaways
Understanding the basics of life insurance empowers you to make informed decisions that protect your family’s financial future without overpaying for unnecessary coverage.
• Calculate your actual life insurance coverage needs using the LIFE method: Liabilities + Income replacement + Final expenses + Education costs for dependents.
• Term life insurance offers the most affordable protection for young families, providing high coverage amounts during peak financial responsibility years.
• Your age, health, and smoking status dramatically impact premiums – applying while young and healthy locks in lower rates for life.
• Shop multiple insurers before buying since each company uses different underwriting guidelines and may offer significantly different rates for identical coverage. O’Neal Insurance Group will do this for you!
• Medical exams typically improve your rates by proving good health, while simplified policies cost more but approve faster for those with health concerns.
The key to successful life insurance purchasing lies in matching your specific financial situation to the right policy type, coverage amount, and insurance company. Don’t let the complexity overwhelm you – focus on protecting your dependents’ immediate needs first, then consider permanent coverage for long-term goals.
Life insurance protects your loved ones from financial uncertainty, but choosing the right policy can feel overwhelming. The good news? Understanding the simple concepts makes the process easier.
Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurer that provides a death benefit to your beneficiaries when you pass away. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know. This includes the main types of policies, how costs are calculated, who needs coverage, and the step-by-step buying process. You’ll have the knowledge to make an informed decision that protects your family’s financial future.
What is life insurance, and how does it work
The basic contours of life insurance
Life insurance operates as a legally binding contract where you pay regular premiums to an insurer, and the company promises to pay a death benefit to your designated beneficiaries when you pass away. You’re purchasing financial protection for your loved ones in exchange for ongoing payments.
You can pay the premium monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, depending on your preference. These payments keep your coverage active. Stop paying premiums, and your policy can lapse, leaving you without protection.
Life insurance contracts include specific terms that outline what’s covered and what’s not, beyond death coverage. Common exclusions limit the insurer’s liability in cases of suicide (during the first two years), fraud, war, riot, or civil commotion. These limitations protect insurance companies from excessive risk while still providing meaningful coverage for most circumstances.
Some policies offer living benefits as well. These allow you to access part of your death benefit while still alive if you’re diagnosed with a chronic, critical, or terminal illness. This feature can provide financial resources for healthcare needs when you need them most.
Key parties in a policy
Understanding who’s who in a life insurance policy prevents confusion and helps you structure coverage the right way. Four distinct parties play roles in every policy, and they’re not always the same person.
The policy owner is the person who purchases and maintains the policy by paying premiums. The insured is the person whose death triggers the payout. To name just one example, if you buy coverage on your own life, you serve both roles. But if your spouse buys a policy covering your life, they’re the owner while you’re the insured.
The insurer is the insurance company that issues the policy and assumes the financial obligation. Insurers use detailed algorithms to calculate rates based on the insured person’s age, health, lifestyle, employment, and location. State insurance departments regulate these companies and ensure they meet their obligations.
The beneficiary receives the death benefit when the insured passes away. You can name anyone as a beneficiary, including multiple people, family members, business partners, or charitable organizations. Beneficiaries must have an “insurable interest” in your life, though. They would need to suffer financial hardship from your death rather than gain from it.
Policy owners can change beneficiaries unless the beneficiaries have been designated as irrevocable. Changes are straightforward with revocable beneficiaries and don’t require permission (except in common-property states, where spousal consent may be required). The beneficiary isn’t a party to the contract itself but must be named to receive benefits.
How death benefits work
The death benefit represents the core value of any life insurance policy. When someone mentions having a $100,000 policy, they’re referring to their death benefit amount. This sum gets determined when you purchase coverage, based on factors such as your age, health, and occupation.
Death benefits only pay if you die while the policy remains active. Outlive a term policy, and the benefit expires unpaid. Permanent policies continue coverage for life as long as premiums are paid.
Beneficiaries must file a claim with the insurer after your death. Benefits aren’t distributed on their own. The claim process requires beneficiaries to provide a certified death certificate, verify their identity and relationship to you, and submit the policy number. Once a valid claim is filed, payment occurs within 30 days, though it can take up to 60 days in some cases.
Beneficiaries can choose how to receive their payout. A lump sum delivers the entire benefit at once, which is the most common choice. Annuitization options provide installments over time, either for a specific period or the beneficiary’s lifetime. Some insurers offer retained asset accounts in which they hold the funds but grant beneficiaries check-writing privileges.
Death benefits are tax-free, allowing recipients to receive the full amount without income tax deductions. This tax advantage makes life insurance a valuable financial tool for estate planning.
The insurer may investigate circumstances before approving payment if the insured’s death seems suspicious or involves a large policy amount. The contestability period, lasting one to two years after policy issuance, allows insurers to investigate and potentially deny claims if the application information was fraudulent.
Main types of life insurance policies
Policy options fall into two broad categories: term and permanent. Each serves different needs. Understanding their mechanics helps you select coverage that lines up with your financial goals.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance provides death benefit protection for a specific period, usually from 10 to 30 years [1]. This is the simplest form of coverage and functions as “pure life insurance” because it lacks a cash value component [1]. You pay premiums during the term. If you pass away within that timeframe, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit. Coverage ends with no payout if you outlive the policy.
Several variations exist within term coverage. Level premium policies maintain the same payment amount throughout the entire term [1]. A yearly renewable term covers you each year, with renewal options, but at progressively higher costs [1]. Return of premium policies refund all or part of your premiums if you survive the term, but expect premiums 2-5 times higher than standard level term policies [1]. Guaranteed issue term requires no medical exam and makes approval easier, though premiums run a lot higher and death benefits may be limited during the first few years [1].
Many term policies include conversion riders that let you switch to permanent coverage without more medical exams. This option proves valuable if your health gets worse or your coverage needs change.
Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance delivers lifetime protection with three guaranteed elements: level premiums that never change, a death benefit that stays constant, and cash value growth at a guaranteed rate [2]. Companies like Mutual of Omaha and Physicians Mutual offer these policies with predictable and stable features.
A portion of each premium payment builds cash value on a tax-deferred basis [2]. You can borrow against this cash value after several years of accumulation, use it to pay premiums, or surrender the policy for its cash value. Mutual insurance companies may pay annual dividends. You can take these as cash, use them to reduce premiums, purchase more coverage, or accumulate them with interest [2].
Whole life premiums cost a lot more than term coverage, often 6-10 times higher for equivalent death benefits [1]. This premium difference reflects the guaranteed lifetime coverage and cash accumulation features.
Universal life insurance
Universal life insurance offers flexibility that whole life doesn’t. You can raise or lower premiums within certain limits as your financial circumstances change [3]. You may also adjust your death benefit up (with a medical exam) or down to match evolving needs [4].
The cash value earns interest that lines up with current money market rates, though insurers usually guarantee a minimum rate of around 2% [5]. You might reduce or stop premium payments temporarily if your cash value grows enough [4]. But this flexibility carries risk. Paying minimal premiums for extended periods can drain cash value and potentially cause your policy to lapse [3].
Indexed universal life links cash value growth to stock market indices like the S&P 500 and offers upside potential with downside protection [5]. Guaranteed universal life provides no-lapse guarantees as long as minimum premiums are paid and creates level term coverage that can last to age 121 [5].
Variable life insurance
Variable life insurance combines permanent coverage with investment options. Your cash value gets invested in subaccounts that function like mutual funds and allow allocation among stocks, bonds, and money market portfolios [6]. Investment performance affects your cash value and potentially your death benefit [6].
This policy type complies with securities regulations due to its investment component [7]. Cash value growth receives tax-deferred treatment, and policy loans aren’t considered taxable income in most cases [8]. Yet variable life carries real risk. Poor investment performance can reduce cash value, and insufficient funds to cover policy fees may cause the policy to lapse [6].
Companies like Globe Life and Gerber offer variable policies, but they entail higher costs and greater management complexity than term coverage with equivalent death benefits [8].
Other specialized policies
Final expense insurance provides smaller death benefits designed to cover end-of-life costs like funeral expenses and medical bills. These policies often feature simplified underwriting and make them available to older people or those with health issues.
Simplified issue and guaranteed issue policies skip medical exams entirely. Guaranteed issue policies approve everyone, regardless of their health status, though premiums are higher and death benefits may be limited initially [9]. These options work well when traditional policies aren’t available due to age or health conditions.
Understanding life insurance costs and premiums
Premium amounts vary from person to person, sometimes by thousands of dollars annually for similar coverage. What drives these costs helps you anticipate expenses and find opportunities to reduce them.
Factors that affect your premium
Age is the primary factor influencing your life insurance premium [10]. Younger applicants pay lower rates because they’re statistically healthier and represent lower risk to insurers. The insurance provider will be more likely to pay out a claim as you get older [10].
Gender creates notable price differences. Women almost always pay less than men of the same age and health [11]. The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that life expectancy in the U.S. is 81.1 years for women and 75.8 years for men [11]. Females, on average, live 5.8 years longer than males, which translates into lower premiums [12].
Your health status and medical history carry substantial weight. The medical exam usually helps prevent healthy people from overpaying for their life insurance coverage by allowing insurers to assess their current health status [10]. The exam assesses an applicant’s risk, including family and health history, medical conditions, and life expectancy [10]. Conditions like hypertension, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease are just a few factors that can affect the cost [13].
Smoking increases premiums [10]. Smoking can cause fatal diseases like cancer, which means there’s a higher chance of an insurance provider paying out a claim. The health risks associated with smoking usually mean increased premiums [10]. Insurers know that tobacco use lowers life expectancy, and premium costs increase, therefore [14].
Your occupation and hobbies factor into risk assessment. Some jobs, such as firefighter and construction worker, and risky hobbies like scuba diving and rock climbing, might raise your risk, and your life insurance might cost more [13]. Activities such as skydiving, piloting aircraft, or motorsports can raise red flags [11].
Driving records matter more than most people think. Speeding tickets, DUIs, and reckless driving convictions might lead an insurer to reject your application or charge a higher premium [13].
How insurance companies calculate rates
The underwriting process reviews your overall risk profile. Underwriters assign you to a life insurance rating class based on everything they know about you [11]. Your selected group points to your risk level and helps insurers set your premiums [11].
The criteria for each risk class are similar among insurers, though names can vary. These general categories run from best to worst: Super Preferred, Preferred Nonsmoker, Standard Plus, Standard Nonsmoker, Preferred Smoker, Standard Smoker [11].
Substandard applicants usually have complex health conditions, a short track record of managing conditions, or a poor driving record [11]. You’ll receive a table rating or a flat extra premium if your performance is substandard. Each table rating adds an additional 25% to the Standard Nonsmoker premium [11].
Ways to lower your costs
You can save on your life insurance by quitting smoking [10]. Make sure to tell your provider if you’ve quit smoking since purchasing life insurance to see if a nonsmoking status will lower your rate [10].
You can get a life insurance discount and lower the overall cost by paying your annual policy premium in a single payment rather than monthly [10]. Some insurers offer premium discounts at certain coverage levels, so you might pay a lower premium for $250,000 of life insurance than for $200,000 because a discount applies to the higher coverage amount [15].
Shopping around proves worthwhile. Every life insurance company has its own underwriting guidelines, so shop around before applying for a policy to get the best possible rates and find companies that are more lenient about the risk factors that affect you [11]. Companies like Mutual of Omaha and Physicians Mutual may review the same applicant differently than Globe Life or Gerber.
Term life insurance is often the most affordable option if you’re seeking economical life coverage [16]. The simplicity and affordability of term life make it an attractive choice for many, especially those with temporary coverage needs or limited budgets [16].
Who needs life insurance?
Many people assume life insurance only makes sense if you have young children. Coverage serves diverse financial situations at different life stages, though.
Young families and parents
Parents carry the greatest need for life insurance. Your death would eliminate the income your family relies on for mortgage payments, groceries, utilities, and everyday expenses if you’re the main breadwinner. Life insurance fills that gap, allowing your family to maintain their standard of living without you.
Single-income households face particular vulnerability. The surviving spouse must figure out how to earn income while caring for children if the working parent dies. Term life insurance provides affordable protection during these high-dependency years. Policies last 20 or 30 years to cover the period when children need financial support most.
Stay-at-home parents need coverage as well. The services they provide cost thousands of dollars to replace each year. A surviving working parent might struggle to afford daycare while maintaining employment without coverage.
Single individuals
Life insurance isn’t just for married couples with children. Single people often overlook coverage, yet several scenarios make it valuable.
Funeral and burial costs average between $8,000 and $12,000 [17]. These expenses fall to your next of kin if you don’t have a policy and can create financial stress during an already difficult time.
That person becomes responsible for repayment if you die when you carry debt with a cosigner, such as student loans or a mortgage. You can name them as a beneficiary to protect them from this burden. Business loans often require life insurance with the lender named as beneficiary [18].
Many single adults provide financial support to elderly parents or siblings. Life insurance ensures they continue receiving support after you’re gone if you’re caring for someone who depends on your income.
You lock in lower premiums when you get coverage while young. Purchasing a policy now secures better rates than waiting until you’re older or pregnant if you plan to start a family later. Complications could increase costs or complicate approval then [18].
Business owners
Business ownership creates unique life insurance needs. Lenders require coverage as collateral for the loan and to guarantee repayment if you die. Beyond debt protection, your company depends on your expertise and relationships to generate revenue.
Key person insurance provides funds to stabilize operations, recruit replacements, and offset lost income while your business adjusts to your absence. Buy-sell agreements funded by life insurance allow surviving partners to purchase your ownership interest from your estate, thereby preventing conflict and ensuring a smooth transition [19].
Retirees and seniors
Retirement doesn’t eliminate the need for coverage. Funeral costs remain a concern, and many retirees carry mortgage balances or other debts they don’t want to burden their families with.
Life insurance can replace that lost income stream if your spouse were to lose pension income or Social Security benefits after your death. Some retirees use policies to cover estate taxes or leave inheritances to grandchildren for education expenses.
How to choose the right life insurance policy
Selecting the right life insurance requires matching coverage amounts, policy types, and features to your specific financial situation. A clear assessment at the start prevents both overpaying and underinsuring.
Calculating how much coverage you need
Several calculation methods help estimate appropriate coverage levels. The LIFE approach considers Liabilities (debts to pay off), Income (years of replacement needed), Final expenses (medical bills and funeral costs), and Education goals for children [20].
The DIME method adds specificity by totaling Debt, Income (multiplied by years needed), Mortgage balance, and Education costs [21]. These formulas provide estimates, but they don’t account for existing assets or savings you already have.
Simple multiplier rules suggest multiplying your annual income by 10, or by 10 plus $100,000 per child for college expenses [22]. But stay-at-home parents need coverage too, calculated by estimating replacement costs for childcare and household services they provide [21].
Life insurance calculators from organizations like Life Happens are a great way to get personalized estimates by factoring in your marital status, dependents, debts, and existing assets [23].
Matching policy type to your needs
Term life insurance works best for temporary needs and limited budgets [24]. Young families often need higher coverage amounts for mortgages, income replacement, and children’s expenses. Affordable term policies make the practical choice [24].
Whole life insurance suits those wanting permanent coverage and cash value growth [25]. Whole life provides certainty that term policies lack if you need guaranteed lifetime protection or want to leave a legacy.
Policy features and riders worth reviewing
Riders customize your coverage by adding optional benefits. Common riders include waiver of premium (pauses payments during disability), accelerated death benefit (accesses funds for terminal illness), and guaranteed insurability (adds coverage later without medical exams) [26].
Each rider increases your premium, so review whether added features justify the cost [27]. Call agent/broker James O’Neal at (877) 808-2900 for personalized guidance on which riders best match your situation.
Comparing insurance companies
Financial strength ratings indicate an insurer’s ability to pay claims decades from now. Look for companies with A.M. Best ratings of A- or higher and COMDEX scores of 90+ [28]. Companies like Mutual of Omaha, Physicians Mutual, Globe Life, and Gerber each use different underwriting guidelines. Comparing quotes from multiple insurers helps you find the best rates [29].
The life insurance buying process
Medical exams and underwriting
The application process begins once you’ve selected your policy type. Most policies require a medical exam that takes 15 to 45 minutes [1]. A licensed professional contacts you to schedule an appointment and comes to your home or office at your convenience [1].
The exam measures your height, weight, and vitals. It also collects blood and urine samples [1]. You’ll provide information about current medications, dosages, and physicians you’ve seen in the last five years. Any medical conditions require diagnosis dates and treatment outcomes [1]. Companies like Mutual of Omaha and Physicians Mutual use these results during underwriting to determine your risk class.
Application steps
Prepare your Social Security number, driver’s license, medical history, prescription list, physician contact information, and beneficiary details before starting. Insurers ask about your occupation, finances, annual income, and lifestyle choices, such as tobacco use and hobbies [1].
Policy approval timeline
Traditional underwriting takes 4 to 6 weeks [1]. Simplified or accelerated underwriting through Globe Life or Gerber can provide decisions within 24 hours to a few days [30]. Call agent/broker James O’Neal at (877) 808-2900 to learn more and get guidance on expediting your application.
What happens after you buy
Your policy has a free-look period of 10 to 30 days. You can cancel for a full refund during this time [31]. Set up automatic payments to prevent lapses and review beneficiaries regularly [31].
Conclusion
Life insurance protects your loved ones from financial hardship. You can make confident decisions about coverage. Calculate your actual needs using the LIFE or DIME method, then compare term and permanent policies to find the one that fits your budget and goals. You’ll secure better rates when you shop around between carriers like Mutual of Omaha, Physicians Mutual, Globe Life, and Gerber.

FAQs
Q1. What happens to my life insurance policy if I stop paying premiums? If you stop paying premiums, your policy can lapse, leaving you without protection. The policy remains active only as long as you continue making regular payments according to your chosen schedule (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually).
Q2. Can I borrow money from my life insurance policy? Yes, but only with certain types of policies. After several years of cash value accumulation in whole life or universal life insurance, you can borrow against this cash value, use it to pay premiums, or surrender the policy for its cash value. Term life insurance does not build cash value and, therefore, cannot be borrowed against.
Q3. How long does it take to get approved for life insurance? Traditional underwriting typically takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete. However, simplified or accelerated underwriting can provide decisions much faster, sometimes within 24 hours to a few days, depending on the insurance company and policy type you choose.
Q4. Do beneficiaries have to pay taxes on life insurance payouts? No, death benefits are typically tax-free. Beneficiaries can receive the full amount without income tax deductions, which makes life insurance a valuable financial tool for estate planning and protecting your loved ones.
Q5. What is the free-look period, and how does it work? The free-look period is a window of 10 to 30 days after purchasing your policy during which you can cancel for a full refund. This gives you time to review the policy details and ensure it meets your needs without any financial risk.
