Funeral cover is a must for all South Africans, yet many misconceptions prevent people from getting the protection they need. Let's debunk seven common myths to help you understand funeral cover a bit better and learn how MiWayLife's MiFuneral Policy is a game-changer if you’re wanting maximum peace of mind.

Myth 1: Funeral cover is expensive

The reality is that funerals are expensive, but funeral cover is an inexpensive way to ensure you don’t burden your loved ones with those costs during an already difficult time. MiFuneral Policy is designed to be affordable, allowing you to customise your cover to fit your budget. Also, as it’s a digital-first product, you don’t have to pay a broker or extra administration fees. This way, you can enjoy a low premium while getting the cover you need.

Myth 2: Buying funeral cover is complicated

At MiFuneral, we pride ourselves on being transparent and easy to understand. So much so that you can buy your policy online with just a few clicks! Why not get a quick quote right now and let us impress you with our straightforward approach and surprisingly low premiums?

Myth 3: Young and healthy people don’t need funeral cover.

Wrong again! Nothing in life is guaranteed, including how long we get to live. This means having funeral cover is a must-have for everyone. Why burden your parents with the cost of giving you a dignified farewell when MiFuneral Policy makes it so easy for you to take care of this yourself? When you buy funeral cover, you’re not really purchasing it for yourself. You’re buying it to protect the people you love.

Myth 4: You need multiple policies to cover everyone you care about

Unlike some policies that only cover immediate family, MiFuneral Policy allows you to cover yourself as well as your immediate family and even extended family members, all under one policy.! This way, you can ensure that everyone you care about is protected.

Myth 5: Funeral cover is inflexible

Not if you’re with MiFuneral! We realise that everyone’s situation is unique which is why MiFuneral Policy can be customised to suit your individual needs. As an example, you can opt for extra cover to help you meet other end-of-life expenses as well as decide how you’d like it to be paid – as a lump sum or as a short-term monthly income to protect your family going forward.

Myth 6: Funeral policy claims are time-consuming

It doesn’t have to be! At MiFuneral, we know there’s nothing worse than having to wait during an already difficult time. This is why we’re proud to pay out fast – within 48 hours! This way, your family gets what they need when they need it the most.

Myth 7: You have to pay a lot to get funeral cover with extra benefits

You’ll be glad to know that while MiFuneral Policies allow you to pick and choose extra benefits, ALL policies include a very big complimentary benefit – access to telephonic support via our Funeral Arrangement Service. Our compassionate and knowledgeable agents will talk your beneficiary through the application process for death certificates and other legal documents, can put you in touch with trusted service providers and even arrange overnight accommodation for family members travelling to attend your loved one’s funeral.

The bottom line
