Extra Policy Benefits
All great providers will have some extra benefits. These benefits can sometimes add a lot of value. Sometimes, they are just there to lure the client. We have seen funeral plan that come with free airtime. This type of funeral plan is often not very professional. We always make sure the policies we offer have benefits relevant to the product. It is of no benefit to be receiving free ice cream when you claim. The benefits must make the product better. Luckily, we only represent the best funeral plans in South Africa.

Things to Consider When You Compare Funeral Cover
Cover Amounts
When you compare funeral cover, you need to know how much cover you need. Most providers have similar cover amount, this is because the industry is regulated. The lowest amount is usually around R5 000 and the highest we offer is R60 000. For a decent comparison, you need to know what your needs are.
Value Adding Benefits
We do not offer providers with useless benefits. Although this is something you need to spend some time on. To explain what the problem is you need to understand the importance of policy benefits. In the past, we have come across providers who offer client benefits that do not improve the product. Sometimes fly by night providers lure customers with benefits they will never use. The problem with this is at the end of the day, you pay for those benefits. For example, there is no reason you should get discounts on armed response on your funeral plan. We have even seen some funeral policies that arrange discounts on books. Make sure when you compare products you look at the benefits.
Waiting Periods
All the above policies have a 6-month waiting period. This waiting period will only be for natural death. Accidental death will receive cover from the first payment. This is an industry standard. It prevents the sick and dying from taking out policies at the last minute. Remember there will be no medical questions or exams. All the companies will guarantee your acceptance regardless of your health status. Be careful of funeral insurance policies that do not have any waiting periods. In our opinion, this is a red flag. It’s an industry standard and prove that the company knows what they are doing.
Payout Times
Most providers will settle claims within day or two. Make sure you look at how quickly this process is done. You do not really want to get a funeral plan that takes more than 48 hours to pay claims. Funerals must be arranged quickly after death. All the companies we offer settle claims between 24 – 48 hours.
