Great Western Insurance Company (GWIC), a subsidiary of American Enterprise Group Inc., formed a strategic product partnership with Sepio Guard, which provides funeral assurance coverage for deaths occurring 75 or more miles away from home. Sepio’s “Away From Home Assurance Plan” goes beyond traditional travel insurance by covering transportation costs, permits/documentation and all other logistical considerations in the event of a death while traveling.

In addition to comprehensive and straightforward coverage, Sepio offers a robust, easy-to-use technology platform for customers and agents that efficiently and securely matches coverage needs with monthly payment options.

“A death while away from home is one of the last things people think about, but unfortunately, it happens,” said Kenn Peterson, vice president of national preneed sales for GWIC. “Away From Home Assurance is for everyone, providing the ultimate peace of mind for customers and their families. This way, no matter where the death occurs, the family’s loved ones will be brought back into their funeral professional’s care.” gwic.com
