1891 Financial Life: Protecting Families for Generations
May 27, 2025
May 15 marks the International Day of Families, a global reminder of the importance of strong, connected families in building a more resilient society. This day is a chance to reflect on how we show up and care for the people we love. At 1891 Financial Life, we don’t just offer family protection as a service. It’s a purpose woven into our more than 130-year-old history. Learn where this legacy began and how it’s shaped our mission to help you protect your family, no matter what day of the year it is.
A Legacy of Family, Faith, and Financial Security
Our organization's name comes from the year it was founded, 1891, when a group of women from a local parish came together to form a fraternal benefit society. Their purpose was simple: to find a way to care for each other in times of hardship and build something rooted in mutual support.
Even as 1891 Financial Life has grown to serve people of all backgrounds, that initial purpose remains true decades later. Our focus continues to be on family, community, and faith-based values. It’s evident in our modern life insurance solutions built to help families plan for and protect their futures and in the personalized care we offer to every person who contacts us.
Why Life Insurance Matters for Every Family
Life insurance is so much more than a policy. It’s a legacy of care. It’s a promise that you won’t leave your family unprotected. It’s a safety net that can catch your loved ones in their grief and save them the worry of having to cover:
- Funeral expenses and final medical bills
- Debt or mortgage obligations
- Childcare and education fees
As we celebrate a day dedicated to families, it’s more important than ever to ask, “If something happened to me tomorrow, would my family be okay?” Life insurance means that the answer to that question is always “yes.
