About Golden Memorial & Martin Eichhorn
A licensed Illinois insurance agency focused on one thing: helping families plan and pay for final expenses without pressure, confusion or surprise costs.
Who we are
Golden Memorial, also known as Martin Eichhorn & Associates, is an independent insurance agency based in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We are not an insurance company. We are licensed insurance producers who work with families across Illinois and seven other states to review final expense and burial insurance options and choose coverage that fits their budget and their wishes.
Final expense insurance is a small whole life policy — commonly $5,000 to $35,000 — designed to cover funeral costs, burial or cremation, outstanding medical bills and other bills left behind. It is a straightforward product, but the details matter: waiting periods, graded benefits, beneficiary rules, premium guarantees. Our job is to explain those details in plain language before anything is signed.
How we work
2. Review options in plain language
We compare available plans and walk you through how each one works: what it covers, when it takes effect, what it costs and what the limitations are.
3. Let you decide
No-cost consultations are educational and create no obligation. If a plan isn't right for you, we say so. If nothing fits, you are free to walk away.
What we don't do
- We do not promise approval. Eligibility and final rates depend on the carrier's underwriting, your answers on the application and state availability.
- We do not quote premiums as guaranteed facts. Any figure we mention is an illustration for a specific age, health profile and coverage amount — the carrier confirms the final rate.
- We do not promise savings. What a plan costs depends on what you buy and from which carrier.
- We do not offer gifts, meals or incentives in connection with plan enrollment.
- We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the government or the federal Medicare program.

Martin Eichhorn is a licensed insurance producer serving families in Illinois and seven additional states: WI, VA, TX, AZ, CO, CA and FL. Availability of any specific plan varies by carrier, county and time of year, so we confirm what is offered in your area before you apply.
