Funeral cover provides you or your family with the funds they need to cover funeral expenses and other costs related to the death of a family member. You choose how much cover you want for each family member and a monthly premium you can afford. In the event of the death of a family member, your funeral insurance policy pays a lump sum to you, and in the event of your death your policy pays out a lump sum to the beneficiary named in the policy schedule.
The cost varies, depending on factors like whether it is a burial or cremation, the type of casket and headstone and how many mourners are catered for.
Your premium depends on your age, the amount of cover you buy and the number of additional family members that you insure on your policy. If you buy your funeral cover online, you will save 40% on your monthly premiums!
