Term life insurance is offered to meet the needs of all family members as the family grows and matures. Family life also sells other types of life insurance to fit an individual’s or family’s requirements.

Family Life also sells mortgage protection life insurance; this insurance assures that a mortgage will continue to be paid in the event of the death of a homeowner.
