My mother passed away January 28th 2026. She had made beneficiary changes on both policies she owned

My mother passed away January 28th 2026. She had made beneficiary changes on both policies she owned. One was made in August 2025 and the other was made in December 2025. I told them to call her if they had any questions. One policy is for $50k and was issued in 2000. The other $20k issued 2018. I called the claim in on 29Jan26. Not once has the claims department called any of us to advise what they needed. We had to follow up and each time needed to provide additional info...death certificate, (even though it was considered express pay and they had the funeral home info), then questioning the beneficiary change...Who was in the room with her when it was changed, what was discussed, then needed dates of birth of beneficiaries. Void cheques have been provided. We keep getting told its approved but STILL NO FUNDS! I HIGHLY recommend NOT purchasing life insurance from Sunlife! They are non responsive and this is beyond frustrating!

Extremely Frustrating Experience

Absolutely zero stars! If negative ratings were possible, I would choose that. I had a disastrous experience with customer service, spending more than three hours on the phone, and it was a nightmare to deal with. To sum it up, I will be switching my policy to a different provider. My advice: If you're thinking about them for investments, look elsewhere. You're welcome!

Frustrated with the service after years of loyalty

After many years with one provider, I am extremely dissatisfied with the current service due to the poor customer support. The app feels like it was created without any real understanding of user needs. I plan to ask my employer to stop using this provider for benefits.

Years of Frustration

After spending years with this provider, I am extremely dissatisfied with the service. The customer support is appalling and the app seems poorly designed, lacking any intuitive features. I will be requesting my employer to stop using them as our benefits provider.

Utterly Disappointing Experience

This has been the worst experience! My employer's pension and benefits are tied to this provider, leaving me with no choice. I've been unable to submit benefit claims for over a month and reaching someone for help has proven impossible. The live chat and phone lines are always too busy. They've made it exceedingly difficult to claim benefits, and I've been trying to submit invoices for nearly two years. I dread what will happen when the submission period expires.

Exceptional Service

I had a fantastic experience with this insurance provider from beginning to end. Filing a claim was straightforward, with clear instructions and no hidden requirements. Every representative was helpful, patient, and truly dedicated to assisting me with my coverage and next steps.

Intentional Obstacles or Severe Ineptitude

I genuinely believe they make the process difficult on purpose to discourage claims. It's either that, or they are so inept that they should face serious consequences.

Unacceptable Practices

Zero stars! They have taken all my retirement funds while charging monthly fees, leaving me with nothing. Their customer service is appalling, often disconnecting calls and claiming it's due to dropped connections. This is the worst experience I've ever had with a company.

Frustrating Experience

I called five times today, only to be put on hold for 30-50 minutes each time. The automated system promises callbacks that never happen. I urgently need customer service but have received none. I used to be able to reach someone easily.

Extremely Frustrating

This is the absolute worst insurance provider I've encountered! They ask for documents without an upload option, assign security indicators randomly, and their AI chat provides no real help. It's nearly impossible to reach a live representative due to long wait times. The entire claims process is unnecessarily complicated.
