Comprehensive Funeral Plans

EXTENDED FAMILY BENEFITS:
To determine the type of care you or a loved one needs when aging, health care and insurance providers will assess the ability to function independently. To do this, a set of criteria called “activities of daily living” (ADLs) is used. These activities cover a patient’s ability to perform basic daily tasks such as eating and dressing.

Benefits that cover the costs of a funeral up to 7 extended family members (parents, parents in law, uncles, aunts etc.) who are covered on a Comprehensive Funeral Plan policy.

“Extended Family” means the brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew, parents or parents in-law, grandparents of the principal insured person, provided such person(s) are under 85 years of age.

“Parents or Parents in-law” (as stated in the policy schedule) means the parents or parents in-law of the principal insured person whose names appear on the application form. The following is a list of parents that can be covered:

• Biological father or mother of the principal insured person or spouse.
• Adoptive mother or father of the principal insured person or spouse.
• Legal guardian of the principal insured person or spouse.
