Security National Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: SNFCA) announced it has, through its wholly owned subsidiary Security National Life Insurance Company, closed on a coinsurance transaction with Mothe Life Insurance, located in Gretna, Louisiana and DLE Life Insurance Company, located in Bogalusa, Louisiana.

“What a great way to finish 2012. This transaction allows Security National to deepen our presence in Louisiana and the Southeast, a region that is very important to Security National. By continuing to increase our footprint in the region, both through direct sales and transactions, we believe we can offer a better customer service experience to our policyholders, while gaining efficiencies in our operations,” said Andrew Quist, vice president and associate general counsel for Security National. “We look forward to a relationship with Mothe Life that we believe will be beneficial for both companies and seamless to the policyholders.”

“This transaction represents a significant increase in Security National customers and a significant increase in asset size. Security National has a reputation in the industry of providing excellent customer service, and we believe the policyholders coinsured under this transaction will find that to be the case,” Quist said.
