The Sentinel story started 70 years ago in 1948. A group of passionate Utah funeral directors saw many families in need of an insurance product designed to help pay funeral costs. To help meet this need, they came together and created Sentinel Mutual Insurance Company. At last families were able to receive an affordable life insurance policy designed to pay for the final expenses of a loved one.
As the years went by a few name changes took place (going from Sentinel Mutual Insurance Company to Sentinel Insurance Company in 1954 to Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company in 1957). In more recent years Sentinel decided to expand its product offerings beyond final expense. In 2009, the company rolled out a Medicare Supplement product to help pay the gaps not covered by Medicare. This was followed by the development of multiple innovative annuity products (Personal Choice Annuity in 2011, Summit Bonus Index in 2013, and Personal Choice Plus in 2017). With consistent and solid growth, Sentinel remains well-positioned to continue creating and rolling out new innovative products to better serve our client base.
