Singlife Philippines has introduced an all-in-one funeral plan called Protect from Funeral Costs, available on the Singlife Plan & Protect app.

This plan offers a lump sum benefit of up to PhP 500,000 (approx. US$ 8,992) to help families manage end-of-life expenses.

It is fully accessible through Singlife’s all-digital mobile platform to empower Filipinos to prepare responsibly and show their loved ones a final act of love.

The Singlife Plan & Protect app is downloadable on the App Store and Google Play.

Protection you leave behind

The coverage is also both customizable and affordable. Customers can avail of coverage from PhP 100,000 to PhP 500,000.

Premiums start at just PhP 447 a month, and customers can choose from payment terms of five or 10 years. The coverage also lasts until age 120.

Moreover, on the app, customers can leverage a built-in financial needs analysis feature. This helps families estimate how much they may need based on these following criteria:

  • preferred funeral type
  • casket
  • memorial lot
  • number of viewing days
  • expected guests

The unique tool empowers families to plan ahead, given that most people do not realize how much funeral expenses actually cost.

They can also get an instant PhP 300 in Singlife credits when they try out the financial analysis tool.

Those availing of the plan can also extend the protection to their spouse or children. Starting from the second policy year, they have the option to enroll their child for coverage at no extra cost. This means no more need to buy a separate policy for them.

Furthermore, those who become permanently disabled during their premium payment period wouldn’t have to worry about future payments. The premium payments will be waived but the coverage will remain active and in force.

The policy also builds cash value over time. From the fourth year, customers can borrow to give extra financial flexibility when needed.

Lastly, beneficiaries of the plan will receive 10% of the cash benefit in advance upon submission of the policyholder’s death certificate and identity verification.

This helps cover urgent funeral expenses while the remaining amount is released upon claim approval.
