No problem! While traditional alert systems require a landline, with the MobileHelp system, a landline is not necessary. Whether you are home or away from home, a simple press of your help button activates your system, providing the central station with your information and location. Our trained emergency operators will know who you are and where you are located. If you’re one of the millions of people that have waited for an alert service because it didn’t t your lifestyle, or settled for a traditional system even though it only worked in the home, then we welcome you to try MobileHelp. Experience peace of mind in the home or on the go.

PRE-FUNDING
Pre-Funding offers you the peace of mind of knowing your wishes will be met. By purchasing your funeral in advance you fund the cost of your funeral based on today’s prices. It provides a real benefit for your loved ones while offering sound financial planning.
