Services
Full Benefit Insurance
This policy guarantees 100% coverage of prearranged funeral costs for applicants in excellent health. Available with single or multi-year payment plans up to 10 years, it ensures all specified funeral expenses are covered when payments are maintained. The policy provides immediate full benefits without waiting periods, offering families complete financial protection against inflation and unexpected cost increases.
Graded Benefit Insurance
Designed for applicants with health concerns, this policy builds coverage over time. Initial benefits start at 50% during the first six months, increasing to 100% after two years. Available with payment terms up to 10 years, it offers partial refunds of premiums paid during the early years. This option provides accessible coverage for individuals who might not qualify for standard policies while still protecting families from funeral cost burdens.
Monthly Increasing Benefit
This policy provides death benefits that increase monthly based on payments made. Available for applicants up to age 85, it guarantees full coverage once policies are paid in full. The benefit amount directly corresponds to premiums paid, offering dollar-for-dollar protection. This option works well for individuals seeking adjustable coverage that grows with their financial commitments while maintaining funeral planning flexibility.
Flexible Premium Annuity
Specifically designed for older applicants up to age 110, this annuity-based policy matches death benefits dollar-for-dollar with premiums paid. It provides straightforward coverage without health qualifications, making it accessible for individuals who might not qualify for traditional insurance. The policy guarantees that every dollar paid will be available for funeral expenses, offering simple, transparent protection for final arrangements.
Preneed Funeral Planning
Our comprehensive planning service helps families document specific funeral preferences in advance. We coordinate with contracted funeral homes to lock in service selections and pricing. The process includes personalized consultations, document preparation, and ongoing policy management. This service ensures final wishes are honored while providing financial security through associated insurance products that protect against future cost increases.
