They were so much cheaper and their reviews are good. We have the worldwide coverage in case he were to pass while away from home.
My husband died at home - the hospice nurse contacted Baldwin - and Baldwin informed SSA. Fortunately, all I had to do was contact the hospice nurse. She pronounced time of death, contacted Baldwin, and they handled the rest. I don’t think I could have handled much else at that particular time.
