Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments:  Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance.  Our Life Insurance segment primarily issues endowment contracts, which are principally accumulation contracts that incorporate an element of life insurance protection and ordinary whole life insurance, to non-U.S. residents through CICA International  These contracts are designed to provide a fixed amount of insurance coverage over the life of the insured and may utilize rider benefits to provide additional coverage and annuity benefits to enhance accumulations. CICA issues credit life and disability and accident and health related policies throughout the Midwest and southern U.S. CNLIC issues ordinary whole life in Florida.

Our Home Service Insurance segment operates through our subsidiaries SPLIC, MGLIC and SPFIC, and focuses on the life insurance needs of the middle- and lower-income markets, primarily in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.  Our policies are sold and serviced through funeral homes and independent agents who sell policies, collect premiums and service policyholders.  Our Home Service Insurance segment also sells property insurance policies in Louisiana and Arkansas.

The Life Insurance and Home Service Insurance portions of the company constitute separate businesses. The Company also operates other non-insurance portions of the Company ("Other Non-Insurance Enterprises"), which primarily include the Company’s IT and corporate-support functions that are included in the tables presented below to properly reconcile the segment information with the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company's Other Non-Insurance Enterprises are the only reportable difference between segments and consolidated operations.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Other Non-Insurance Enterprises are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are the same as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  The Company evaluates profit and loss performance based on U.S. GAAP income or loss before federal income taxes for its two reportable segments.
