Leadway Assurance launches funeral policy cover

LEADWAY Assurance Company Limited has launched a new Life product named “Leadway Family Benefit Plan Plus” (LFBPP). The product is a multi-life policy designed to cover funeral expenses for the assured lives (spouse, parents and/or parents-in-law that are named in the policy) and the policyholder (person who purchased the policy). The policy helps to alleviate and bury the worries associated with the funerals for elderly loved ones.

Giving details of the new product, Head, Life Retail, Femi Adebayo, explained that the policy provided funeral benefits in respect of all the assured lives as long as their death preceded that of the policyholder. The policy also provided other benefits including offering additional monthly payments to the beneficiaries of the policyholder in the event of his demise. The Family Benefit Plan Plus, in his own words, was one of the ways in which Leadway Assurance was making life beautiful for its customers.
