SFLIC
SFLIC, a legal reserve life insurance company, was founded by a group of Arkansas funeral directors in 1960 and has grown to become a leading regional insurer for funeral homes, offering life insurance products to meet the needs of their communities. SFLIC partners exclusively with the funeral profession to provide funeral/final expense life insurance and pre-need/advance funeral planning products for individuals and families in the states within which SFLIC is admitted to conduct business.
SFLIC’s goal to earn a deserved reputation for excellence in products and service has been a driving force for the company. A key differentiator for SFLIC of special interest to affiliated funeral homes is the range of products to meet both sides of the funeral home’s market. SFLIC’s portfolio of final expense advanced planning/preneed and whole life products equips the funeral home to meet the needs of most all members of the families they serve. On the distribution side of the business, another key differentiator of SFLIC is the broad marketing support and professional services affiliated funeral homes are provided by the Sales Development and Home Office team.
SFLIC’s mission is to be a premier life insurance company serving the funeral profession. We invite visitors to our website at www.sflic.net and look forward to our next opportunity to serve.
