What final expense insurance looks like for Ohio families
Real numbers depend on your age and health — here's the honest starting point.
What it's sized to cover
The national median funeral with viewing and burial runs about $8,300 (NFDA 2023 General Price List Study), or about $6,280 for a funeral with viewing and cremation. That figure excludes the cemetery plot, burial vault, monument/marker, and cash-advance items. Many Ohio families size coverage to that, plus any final medical bills or small debts.
