United of Omaha, a Mutual of Omaha company, last week announced Guaranteed Plus Whole Life insurance, a new life insurance policy with a no-additional-cost rider intended to help simplify the funeral planning process for consumers.
Created through a strategic alliance with Everest Funeral Concierge Service, Guaranteed Plus includes the benefits of a Guaranteed Whole Life policy from United of Omaha, plus funeral planning services from Everest, including 24-hour personalized funeral planning assistance, secure online planning tools and online will preparation services.
Guaranteed Plus will be available for consumers to purchase online or over the phone in select states beginning Nov. 5, 2018.
“After spending a great deal of time listening to our customers, we learned they want to make funeral planning simple and affordable, both for themselves and for the loved ones they leave behind,” said Brian Poppe, Senior Vice President at Mutual of Omaha. “Guaranteed Plus was designed with these needs in mind. Through our collaboration with Everest, we’re excited to be able to offer this innovative new solution that makes the funeral planning process more simple and affordable. Not only will it provide our customers added peace of mind, it will allow their families to grieve rather than worry about all of the little details that go into planning a funeral.”
In February, Mutual of Omaha surveyed life insurance consumers to learn more about their needs. The results of the survey showed 81% of consumers want a more simplified funeral planning process, while 76% want help finding a funeral home that offers fair prices for their funeral.
“Everest exists to advocate for families, to be their champion and to offer support and independent advice during one of life’s most challenging times,” said Mark Duffey, President and CEO of Everest Funeral Concierge. “We’re very pleased to collaborate with Mutual of Omaha to help make funeral planning simple and affordable for life insurance customers.”

- Available in face amounts up to $25,000
- No medical exam required
- Guaranteed death benefits as long as premiums are paid

More GI stuff. Replacement inventory!
Good Policy Launched.
Doesn't say it is GI.. Just says no medical exam required..
There’s another article put out that further explains it. It does say it’s GI.
And then when they ask if it pays full benefit from day one, you can say?
Another way they'll replace Indy agent's MoO policies through the mail.
only way an indy agent policy would get replaced is if you write their graded plan. If you write the graded plan, you deserve to get replaced. And if you don't take you client off the solicitation list, you deserve to get replaced
This is a great and need benefit. As one can imagine. These features are being incorporated in N.A.A.I.P. free forever agent websites.
Sorry but your comment doesn't make any sense.
Did you not read this? "Doesn't say it is GI.. Just says no medical exam required."
I did yes. In fact, I responded to his comment.
What I'm saying is, YOUR comment of "And then when they ask if it pays full benefit from day one, you can say?" doesn't make any sense.
Coverage starts immediately from day one, it pays limited benefits the first 2 years if you pass away from a natural cause
Your two statements directly contradict one another.
The coverage isn't immediate. It's a GI plan with the industry standard 2 year waiting period.
