Largest Funeral Corp Partners w/another Insurance -YourfuneralGuy

The worlds largest funeral corporation Service Corporation International(SCI) has partnered with yet another insurance company.

SCI’s numbers have been in almost a free fall for Fiscal 2009 and they have joined another Insurance Company at the hip to stop the decline. Insurance Companies have been hurting dramatically due to the recession and so have the Funeral Corporations. The latest Company SCI has partnered with is United Home Life Insurance. Previously the have partnered with SLAICO and MATRIX DIRECT.

From PR Newswire:

“United Home Life Insurance Company and Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI) announce the creation of a partnership to enhance the products currently offered by United Home Life for agents. Through the partnership, independent agents can utilize the Dignity Planning(TM) tool to increase their profitability by offering clients the ability to turn their policy into a complete end-of-life plan. Dignity Planning is unlike any other end-of-life planning tool in that it was designed for financial service professionals and provides agents with real-time needs analysis and pricing, as well as inflation and aged-based life expectancy costs of specific elements rather than generic national averages.

Be sure to keep control of your own life insurance policy and do not turn it over to Dignity Planning
