For funeral directors

We’ll put your mind at rest By focusing on the specific risks your business faces, our Deluxe Funeral Directors Program gives you pinpointed insurance protection that many companies don’t offer. Our package includes the special coverages you need for your business, plus you can add plenty of optional coverages and related life insurance protection. The result is a unique business owners package that is very good for your business.

If you’d like to learn more about this special program, contact an agent in your area. Or, get in touch with our office nearest you.

Our coverages dovetail with your daily operations, providing unique protection and value in a single package. Most reassuring, our program covers you against a broad range of claims for bodily injury or property damage caused by your or your employees. We even protect you against claims arising from physical injury to a deceased person in your care, or from damage to cremated remains or to containers holding the ashes—coverages not found in most policies. Also included are:

  • Damage to autos We pay for damage you cause to vehicles left in your care for attending, parking or storing.
  • Medical expenses We cover you for expenses incurred by anyone (other than an officer or employee) injured due to an accident related to your business.
  • Legal defense We defend suits arising from job-related acts of your employees.
  • Personal injury/advertising injury We cover you for sums you are obligated to pay for offenses you commit in the course of conducting your business or advertising your products and services.

Exceptional off-premises coverage Unlike most policies, ours provides coverage for your business property—and property of others left in your care—while the items are at the chapel, in transit, at the grave site or anywhere else off premises.

You’re insured for tents, carriers, lifts, portable radio and telephone equipment, and other items you use for funeral and memorial services, as well as oxygen tanks, monitors, stretchers and portable equipment related to an ambulance service you may provide to your community.

Unique coverage to preserve bodies This exclusive Harleysville coverage pays to move and preserve corpses away from your property following off-premises power failure or loss of other utility service. (Most policies exclude power failure.)

Extended business income coverage If you business activity is interrupted by covered damage on your premises, we’ll provide unlimited coverage for up to 12 months for the loss of income you sustain and extra expenses you incur to keep your business going. Within that year, we’ll continue coverage for up to 30 days after repairs are complete if your income has not returned to normal levels.

Our Deluxe Funeral Directors Program also includes these important all-around business coverages:

  • Valuable papers and records coverage to restore or replace these documents.
  • Accounts receivable coverage for money you are unable to collect because these records are destroyed.
  • Money and securities for funds that are stolen or destroyed while on or off your premises.
  • Theft of jewelry and furs to protect property of others stolen from your premises while it is in your care.
  • Trees, shrubs, plants and lawns
  • Sewer/drain backup coverage for damage caused by backed-up sewers or drains.
  • Fire department service charges

Of course, our Deluxe Funeral Directors Program also provides all the fundamental property and general liability coverages found in standard commercial policies to protect your building, contents, premises and operations, plus many other tried-and-true coverages to guard your practice against financial loss.
