• Premiums for the Individual Funeral Benefit are payable for life.
• The Airtime Benefit provides a R250 airtime voucher on the notification of the main insured person's death.

For the main insured person's partner: 

• The Partner Funeral Benefit provides a lump sum payment on the death of the partner, with cover set equal to the Individual Funeral Benefit cover amount.
• The cover ends when the policy ends.

For the main insured person's children:

• The Children Funeral Benefit provides a lump sum payment on the death of up to 5 children.
• There is no additional premium charged for this benefit and ends when they turn 24.
• The cover amount is set to 50% of the Individual Funeral Benefit cover amount to a maximum of R20 000.

Before taking out a policy, it’s important to know that a funeral policy provides cover for the insured persons for the whole of their life (excluding children), or for as long as premiums are paid, and/or until they pass away.

A child's cover will end when they turn 24, and a child covered as an extended family member will be covered until they turn 21.

The policy has a cooling-off period of 31 days, during which it can be canceled, and approved claims are paid within 48 hours of receipt of all supporting documents.
