Free Funeral Benefit Option

SunLife over 50 life insurance comes with a free funeral benefit option. You can choose to have your cash payout go directly to Dignity Funerals Limited, who will use it to pay towards the cost of your funeral. They will also contribute £250 if a Dignity Funeral Director is used to conduct your funeral.

When the time comes, your family only have to make one call and the Dignity Funeral Director will help them through all the arrangements.

Things to consider

The Guaranteed Over 50 Plan gives you full cover after one year. If you pass away before then, SunLife will pay out everything you’ve paid in.
The plan includes accidental death benefit - so SunLife will pay the full cash sum if you die as the result of an accident, even if you’ve had your plan for less than one year.
Depending on how long you live, you could pay more in premiums than the cash sum paid out.
You need to ensure you keep up with your monthly payments or your insurance will end and you won’t get anything back.
The cash sum is fixed so inflation will reduce its value over time.
Please ensure you understand and are happy with the terms and conditions before taking out a plan.
The maximum cover level is £18,000.
The SunLife Guaranteed Over 50 Plan is provided by Phoenix Life Limited.
