Your funeral expenses could be covered

Did you know that Desjardins Savings-Life Insurance provides you with basic life insurance to cover your funeral expenses if you can't afford life insurance but want to provide your family and loved ones with some peace of mind?

For example, if you are age 15 to 391, Savings-Life Insurance provides $10,000 in life insurance, which is approximately the cost of a funeral2, for only $2.90 a month.

Subscribing is easy: you can do it in just a few minutes at your caisse without having to fill out a health questionnaire (for most employed people).

Furthermore, Savings-Life Insurance gives you free access to telephone assistance services. And if you subscribe when you open a Desjardins account, we'll pay your premiums for the first 3 months!
