Now as you can see…
Both Gerber and American Amicable are both very reputable burial insurance companies, which is why you probably can’t go wrong choosing either of these two, assuming of course that you would be able to qualify for the same “rate” with each.
The only problem is…
That making this “assumption” can sometimes be quite costly.
Which is why, you may want to give us a call here at I&E before you decide to apply for coverage, because while both Gerber and American Amicable are both outstanding insurance companies, each of them are going to have their own unique underwriting guidelines which will determine who they will and won’t insure.
These guidelines are…
Also going to play a major role in determining what “price” you may pay for your insurance.
For example, Gerber focuses more on guaranteed issue life insurance, whereas, with American Amicable, some health questions will be asked.
So, while each of these companies may be the right choice for many, it’s quite possible based on your unique situation that one or both of these companies may not be the “right” for you!
The good news is…
That we here at I&E work with dozens of different life insurance companies so that when it comes time to determine which company is going to be the best for you, we don’t have to rely on just one or two different options.
