A permanent policy is also likely a better choice.

Simplified Issue Life Insurance for Seniors over 80
A simplified issue just means that you can qualify for a life insurance policy without having to take a physical exam.
In other words, there is no need to go anywhere to get examined and no one will need to come to you – no blood test and no or urine test. If you’ve ever purchased life insurance before or even in your current search, you’re probably aware that a physical is a normal requirement for most policies. Many people find it to be a hassle or to be intrusive.
So with a simplified issue policy you get affordable rates with less underwriting criteria.
This also means that your policy will get approved much faster and with much less hassle than usual.

Guaranteed Issue policies are available for the hard-to-insure or people with health issues.

BURIAL LIFE INSURANCE for Seniors over 80
Burial insurance is an affordable alternative to stashing away enough cash to pay for your own funeral.
Many families do better with financial obligations than they do with saving money. A commitment to pay your premiums every month is one way to make sure you have enough money saved up when the time comes.
Since the average funeral and cremation (or funeral and burial) is now just shy of $8,000, putting away that kind of cash is difficult.
Burial insurance is one way to avoid leaving your family with any financial troubles.
Most burial insurance policies are permanent policies.
Sometimes you will see term burial insurance.
Since both are about the same price, we strongly recommend the permanent policy for this type of life insurance.
