As much a part of life as living itself, the unexpected passing of a loved one is a fact most people don’t plan for. Ultimately, a funeral policy is designed to protect your loved ones in the event of a death in the family. Below we’ve listed all the different ways funeral cover can help if something unforeseen occurs.
1. Arranging a funeral
Although you might not like to think about it, your death could place your family in a very tough financial position during what is already a very traumatic time. If you pass away, having a detailed funeral policy in place will provide funds to pay for any funeral expenses such as cremation, burial, wakes, coffins and even flower arrangements.
2. A grocery plan
Should you pass away, your funeral insurance plan will not only provide your family with financial relief in terms of arranging the actual event, but it could also provide monthly funds for groceries for your family.
In this way, your family will still be able to put food on the table and keep functioning as they did before.
3. Access to a vehicle
Your family may need extra transport around the time of the funeral so that their day-to-day activities are not unnecessarily disrupted more than is necessary. If you don’t have access to extra transport for this, certain funeral policies give you temporary use of extra vehicles for the time around the funeral.
4. Memorial benefit
Some time after the funeral you may want to unveil a special memorial for your loved one, and a comprehensive funeral policy will provide you with the funds to do this. With this add-on, you’ll be able to honour their legacy with a fitting tribute.
