What a Funeral plan offers
A funeral policy will pay out a lump sum to the listed beneficiaries in the event that the main policy holder or any other family member (or your domestic worker) who was added to the policy passes away.
This lump sum will generally be paid out within 24 hours which means family members will have access to cash immediately to cover the generally expensive costs of a funeral. Funeral costs include things such as a burial plot, casket or coffin, a tombstone, grave services, funeral home services, catering, and venue hire.
Repatriation benefit explained
Simply will pay for the remains of a loved one to be repatriated to South Africa and cover the cost of things such as locating the deceased, accommodation for the next of kin who will have to travel to identify the body, repatriation, referral to an undertaker and help with all the documents. These documents will be required to allow the body to be transported across the border.
