Dozens of carriers, different plan types, and pricing that varies wildly from one company to the next. So how do you actually choose? I've been a licensed insurance agent since 2012, and I'm independent — which means I don't work for any insurance company. I work for my clients. I've placed final expense policies with many different carriers over the years, and I can tell you which ones consistently deliver the best value. Here are my top three picks for final expense insurance right now. ## 🥇 #1 — Mutual of Omaha (Living Promise) **Best overall value for most people.** | **Level Plan Ages** | 45 – 85 | | --- | --- | | **Coverage** | $2,000 – $40,000 | | **Waiting Period** | None (Level plan) | | **Pricing** | Among the lowest in the industry | | **AM Best Rating** | A+ | | **Standout Feature** | Free Nursing Home + Terminal Illness riders | Mutual of Omaha's Living Promise is my #1 recommendation for a reason: **best-in-class pricing, generous underwriting, and a free Accelerated Death Benefit rider** that includes nursing home confinement coverage. For most ages and health profiles, they offer the lowest premiums in the market — and they've been in business since 1909. 👉 [Read my full Mutual of Omaha review](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/tlh-mutual-of-omaha-final-expense-insurance-review) ## 🥈 #2 — Transamerica (Final Expense Solutions) **Best for speed and flexibility.** | **Level Plan Ages** | 0 – 85 | | --- | --- | | **Coverage** | $1,000 – $50,000 | | **Waiting Period** | None (Immediate & Express) | | **Pricing** | Competitive (slightly higher than MoO) | | **AM Best Rating** | A | | **Standout Feature** | 10-minute digital approval + 10-Pay option | Transamerica's FE Express Solution delivers a policy in as fast as 10 minutes — fully digital, instant decisions. They also offer a **10-Pay option** (pay premiums for 10 years, covered for life) and a **Children's/Grandchildren's Rider** that lets you add up to 9 kids on the same policy. Their pricing runs slightly above Mutual of Omaha but the additional features and faster process make them a strong #2. 👉 [Read my full Transamerica review](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/tlh-transamerica-final-expense-insurance-review) ## 🥉 #3 — Aflac (Final Expense Whole Life) **Best brand recognition.** | **Level Plan Ages** | 45 – 80 | | --- | --- | | **Coverage** | $5,000 – $50,000 | | **Waiting Period** | None (Level plan) | | **Pricing** | Higher than competitors (~$74/mo for $10K at 60+) | | **AM Best Rating** | A+ | | **Standout Feature** | Children's Term Rider up to $10K per child | Everyone knows Aflac, and their final expense policy is solid — but it comes at a premium. Their rates tend to run 40–50% higher than Mutual of Omaha for comparable coverage. They do offer a strong Children's Term Rider with higher limits than competitors. Aflac is a good option if brand familiarity is important to you, but for pure value, the other two offer more bang for your buck. 👉 [Read my full Aflac review](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/tlh-aflac-final-expense-insurance-review) ## How Do They Compare on Price? | $10,000 Coverage | Mutual of Omaha | Transamerica | Aflac | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Age 55** | ~$28/mo | ~$32/mo | ~$55/mo | | **Age 60** | ~$33/mo | ~$38/mo | ~$74/mo | | **Age 65** | ~$39/mo | ~$45/mo | ~$80+/mo | | **Age 70** | ~$49/mo | ~$55/mo | ~$95+/mo | *\*Sample estimates for non-tobacco applicants. Your rate depends on state, health, and coverage amount. [Get your personalized comparison here](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/meetings/michael-cubell).* ## Which One Should You Choose? Here's my quick guide: - 🏆 **Best price + best overall value:** Mutual of Omaha - ⚡ **Fastest approval + most features:** Transamerica - 🦆 **Biggest brand name:** Aflac - 📅 **Want to pay it off in 10 years:** Transamerica (10-Pay) - 👶 **Need to cover grandkids:** Transamerica or Aflac - 🏥 **Want nursing home protection included:** Mutual of Omaha or Transamerica ## Why Work With an Independent Agent? Here's the thing — a Mutual of Omaha agent can only sell you Mutual of Omaha. An Aflac agent can only sell you Aflac. But as an **independent agent**, I work with all three carriers (and more). That means I can compare them side-by-side for your specific age, health, and budget — and find you the absolute best deal. There's no cost or obligation to get a quote. I've been doing this since 2012, I'm licensed in 15 states, and I'm here to make sure you and your family are protected. 👉 **[Get Your Free Multi-Carrier Quote](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/meetings/michael-cubell)** or call (919) 944-8443. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![Best Final Expense Insurance Companies in Ohio (2026)](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/FE-Blog-Images-v2/fe-v2-best-final-expense-insurance-companies-oh-2026.png?width=1100&name=fe-v2-best-final-expense-insurance-companies-oh-2026.png)](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/best-final-expense-insurance-companies-oh-2026) #### [Best Final Expense Insurance Companies in Ohio (2026)](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/best-final-expense-insurance-companies-oh-2026) [![Picture of Michael Cubell](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/764270f478f560bbba934634d23eb846) Michael Cubell](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/blog/author/michael-cubell) : Jul 14, 2026, 12:48:15 AM Compare the best final expense insurance companies in Ohio for 2026.
