Questions from North West

Can I cover my parents on a policy I take out in North West if they live in another province?

Yes. Parents do not need to live with you or in North West. The insurer asks their ages and adds each of them at their own age band. If they would need to be brought to North West or to their home village for the funeral, ask about the repatriation add-on.

If someone dies in North West, does the policy pay to take them home to another province?

Only if the policy includes a repatriation benefit. Repatriation means transporting the body from where the person died to where the funeral will be held. Many insurers offer it as an add-on, and some include it. Tell the insurer who calls you that the family lives outside North West, and ask what the benefit covers and how far it goes.

I belong to a burial society in North West. Does that stop me claiming on a policy?

No. A society benefit and a policy benefit are separate. The insurer pays the full policy amount regardless of what your society in North West contributes, and the society's own rules decide what it pays. Many households in North West keep both.
