About Plana-America

Plana-American Assurance Burial Insurance

What is Plana-America?

Plana-America, one of the Plana-America projects, is an organization dedicated to supporting Cameroonian families in the United States through times of loss and grief. We connect individuals and associations across Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, building a supportive network aimed at easing the financial and logistical burdens associated with losing a loved one.

Why Plana-America

The loss of a loved one is one of life's most challenging experiences, especially for those far from their homeland. Plana-America was founded to provide a network of solidarity for Cameroonian communities in the United States, easing the financial and emotional burdens associated with repatriation and burial.

  • We assist in the repatriation and burial of fallen Plana-America members.
  • We collect contributions from all Plana-America member associations.
  • We pay funeral home expenses directly to ease the burden on families.

With Plana-America, families and associations can count on a unified approach, minimizing costs and ensuring each family receives the support they need when it matters most.

Plana-America Mission

How Does Plana-America Work?

Plana-America operates by maintaining a centralized database of Cameroonian members and associations, ensuring efficient communication across its network. In the event of a member's passing, Plana-America coordinates logistics for repatriation or local burial arrangements. Contributions collected from members are then pooled and, after minimal administrative deductions, directly allocated to the funeral home and beneficiary to ease financial strain.
