Guaranteed acceptance for UK residents aged 50-80
We are working hard to give our customers the competitive straightforward cover they're looking for.
Through Liverpool Victoria (LV=) Standard Life Direct can offer cover from £5 a month (rates correct as at February 2009) that can provide a guaranteed lump sum for your loved ones when you die.
We can't rely on always being there, but a lump sum could help with things like funeral expenses which have increased by a third in the last 4 years and now average £2,549.
