Life Insurance is a type of insurance policy that can pay out a cash lump sum upon your death. Life insurance is designed to minimise any financial impact on your loved ones if you die, we’ll even help you create a ‘Deathwish’ to record and plan for what you want to happen in the event of your death.
Despite what others would have you believe, life insurance is really pretty simple. You pay a monthly amount, and if you die, a lump sum of money (we call this your ‘payout’) is distributed to your loved ones. Which means money is one less thing they have to worry about.
Are you immortal? Then probably not.
But if you’re like most of us, death is an inevitable part of being human. If you’ve people you care about, who you’d want to receive a cash sum upon your death then taking out a Life Insurance policy could provide your loved ones with some financial security if you died. For more advice, you might want to check out our ‘When should I think about life insurance’ Guide.
If you’re wondering who should I buy a life insurance policy from, here’s why we’re really genuinely different.
We thought traditional life insurance was a bit sh*t, so we’ve created a shiny new life insurance product rebuilt from the ground up to meet your needs rather than the same old outdated inflexible plans most life insurers offer. No long boring forms, irritating phone calls or shady pricing, we’ve made it simple to buy life insurance online.
We’ve stripped out the complex medical questions, and we won’t decline you cover just because you have suffered with your mental health past or present, unlike a lot of other life insurance companies. Read more about it on our Guide to buying life insurance with a Mental Health condition.
We’re also fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and have a 5 star reviews rating over on Trustpilot. Can any other life insurance company say that?
With our streamlined application process, we only 4 quick health based questions. It's really that easy...
We won’t tie you down
Easy going life insurance company seeks flexible 10 year relationship with scope to extend. Our life insurance is pay-as-you-go with a 10 year lifeline. Let's break that down.
Firstly, the PAYG bit means that you are only committed for 1 month at a time, you can cancel whenever you want with no penalty.
Secondly, the lifeline bit refers to how long we guarantee to keep you insured if you get diagnosed with an illness.
In theory, after this point, your life insurance plan will automatically end. We don't ever want this to happen though. Every year, we’ll give you the option of refreshing your lifeline, taking it back to a full 10 years, subject to a few health and lifestyle questions. It usually takes just a few seconds to refresh.

DeadHappy’s Life Insurance will cover you for some things that a lot of other insurers won’t. For example we won’t decline you for cover solely because you have in the past or currently have a mental illness. If you’d like to see a full list of what we do and don’t cover, it’s worth checking out our Plan Outline.
When you apply for life insurance with us, depending on your answers to the questions, we might give you the option of getting a price for Near Death insurance. Our Near Death insurance pays out when you get ill with something really serious, which is likely to have a pretty big impact on the rest of your life (similar to critical illness cover).
How much your life insurance will cost will depend on a few factors. How much of a payout you want being one of the big factors. How old you are, and whether you have certain illnesses can also increase how much you pay for your life insurance plan. However, unlike other life insurance companies, we’re different, and if you’re looking for cheap life insurance that doesn’t compromise on cover you’ve come to the right place.

It’s up to you really. A lot of people consider Life Insurance at the same time as a big life event, such as buying a house, getting married or having children. If there’s someone you care about, spouse, children, dog, best friend, or other loved ones who you’d want to leave some cash to when you die, then you (or rather they) could probably benefit from you taking out some sort of Life Insurance cover. But really there’s no right or wrong answer. To read more we've even written a blog on the subject. When should I think about Life Insurance.
Anyone can start the claims process by either emailing us at [email protected] or calling us on 0116 350 0134. We’ll ask them for your name, DOB and address; who they are and their relationship to you. Our claims team will let them know if we need anything else.
If you get a really nasty illness and you’ve got our optional near-death insurance then one of your friends or family can start the process, or you can do it yourself if you’re well enough.
Hopefully yes. Unlike a lot of other traditional life insurers we don’t ask for you to have a medical. Or fill out a 40 page questionnaire about the intimate details of your life.
Our application form is 4, yes really, just four questions and at the end we’ll tell you whether or not you’ve been accepted and how much it will cost and you can take out your plan instantly. It’s that simple.
If there’s something we may have to find out more information about, we’ll tell you, and we’ll pester the Suits until we have an answer.
Whenever you want. It’s a personal thing. Lots of people tend to buy life insurance if they’ve loved ones who would benefit from a cash sum to help with living expenses in the event of their untimely death, so naturally buying a house, getting married, having kids are key motivators, but again, it’s your call.
However, everyone, no matter what their circumstances, would probably benefit from creating a Deathwish. A Deathwish allows you to think, prepare and record what you’d like to happen upon your death, including silly stuff, like what fancy dress code people should adopt for your funeral, whether you’d like your ashes blasted into space like a spangly-tastic firework or simply something practical like a lovely bronze statue of yourself in the garden for everyone to remember you by, or if you’re like David from Essex, here’s an idea to get your creative juices flowing;
Pay for my funeral: Bury me in a forest and then go eat sausage rolls with ketchup. Get Carmel's funeral directors in Crawley to do it. Ta. (actual deathwish, name changed)
Go to our Deathwish page to find out more about Deathwishes.
It depends on your mortgage company, but probably not. People tend to look at life insurance when taking out a mortgage to ensure their loved ones would be OK financially if they were to die, and would use the cash payout to pay off the mortgage, or help towards living costs.
We've even written an article on just this subject over on our blog right here, if you're interested..
