Sadly, my brother passed away this past winter. We made one phone call to Purple Shield they took care of everything from beginning to end. The service was amazing and they really helped us through a difficult time.
The staff are superb in their explanation of available plans and cost. They answer all your questions, but the best is their staff-warm, welcoming and it is just like having a conversation with family.
Amazing company and phenomenal staff. Some of my family members have had plans and it sure made things easier when they passed away. I have a plan for myself as well.
