The Family Indemnity Plan

Safeguard your loved ones from bearing the burden of funeral costs and other final expenses.

Grieving is hard. But the end of life should not mean the start of financial hardship.  Designed to help you and your family with funeral costs and other immediate final expenses such as debt and medical expenses, the Family Indemnity Plan (FIP) from CUNA Caribbean Insurance ensures that your loved ones are cared for giving them peace of mind and financial security in a time of loss.  Don’t leave your loved ones to bear the burden of high funeral costs and other end-of-life expenses in a time of mourning.
