Funeral Cover will assist you by paying out a pre-determined lump sum of money to a policyholder or registered beneficiary, in the event of the main member or one of the registered beneficiaries passing away.

One of the most traumatic events in life is the death of a loved one. The situation is made worse if that person was the main breadwinner.

Funeral costs can run into the thousands and often funds are tied up to an estate. Our Funeral Cover policy is designed to pay claims as quickly as possible to assist in covering the financial burden posed by even the simplest funeral.
