Homesteaders Life Company’s New Simple Return Insurance Rider Protects Families When Death Occurs Away From Home
West Des Moines, IA – Homesteaders Life Company, a national leader in preneed funeral funding, is proud to announce the launch of Simple Return, a new insurance rider that covers expenses associated with transporting the insured to their local funeral home if death occurs 75 or more miles from home. This innovative rider is the first of its kind as an insurance-backed offering and will be available at-issue on eligible policies in most states. Offered by Homesteaders and serviced by Sepio Guard, Simple Return reflects Homesteaders’ ongoing commitment to providing personalized solutions for funeral home customers and policy owners.
“With Simple Return, Homesteaders is proud to be the first in the market to offer an insurance-backed solution specifically designed to address the need for protection when a death occurs away from home,” said Steve Shaffer, Homesteaders President, CEO and Board Chair. “With this offering we are bringing a benefit that reduces the stress and unexpected costs families can face in those difficult moments and makes it seamless to include the coverage in advance funeral plans.”
The Simple Return rider can be purchased easily with a Homesteaders policy, making it convenient for individuals who prearrange to include this coverage as part of their comprehensive advance funeral plans. In the event of a qualifying death away from home, this rider helps ensure the deceased is transported to a local funeral home. Through coverage provided by Homesteaders’ Simple Return, families can focus on what matters most without the added burden of coordinating arrangements.
“People are thinking ahead and want to know their plans will be honored when the time comes — no matter where they are,” said Chris Johnson, Sepio Guard Co-founder and CEO. “Our collaboration with Homesteaders makes it possible for more families to know they’re covered and for professionals to easily offer protection that just makes sense.”
With a focus on convenience in offering this protection, Simple Return is designed to seamlessly integrate with Homesteaders’ systems and funeral professionals’ processes.
