How MiFuneral Helps Avoid Family Disputes Over Funeral Arrangements
14 Oct 2024

Having funeral cover means full peace of mind and will ensure your family doesn’t fight over final expenses.

Life is for living, but it's important to be prepared for when we're no longer around. While no one likes to think about funerals, having a plan in place is one of the kindest things you can do for your family. Without one, your loved ones could face unexpected financial burdens and even end up fighting about who’s going to pay for them during an already emotional time. This is why having a funeral policy that can provide financial as well as practical assistance is a must for real peace of mind.

But first – don’t be afraid to talk about your funeral

If you had to pass away tomorrow, would you want a small, intimate final farewell or a big celebration of life ceremony? Is it important to you that you’re cremated and that your ashes be scattered somewhere special, or do you want to be buried with your family? It’s always a good idea to let your family know what kind of funeral you'd prefer. This way, they’ll be emotionally prepared and won't have to make tough decisions when feelings are running high. If they know what you want, they can honour your memory in a way that reflects who you are and get peace of mind knowing they’re respecting your wishes.

How MiFuneral Policy can help financially

Once your family knows exactly what kind of final farewell you’d like, you’ll want to give them the financial freedom to afford it – and our new MiFuneral Policy can do exactly that! MiFuneral is a digital-first funeral cover that gives you the power to choose. You get to choose your cover amount, and you even get to choose your benefits. Better yet, as this cuts out unnecessary admin and broker fees, you get to enjoy a lower premium.

Here's how it works: In the event of your passing, your family will receive your cover amount in a lump sum payout, giving them the means to pay for all your funeral expenses. There’s no need for them to feel burdened or argue about the bills, you’ll have taken care of all the costs yourself. This is why buying funeral cover is considered a beautiful gift and an act of love.

MiFuneral Policy also helps with arrangements

Yes, funerals can be expensive, but let’s not forget that they’re emotionally taxing too. MiFuneral knows that the last thing your loved ones will want to deal with is piles of paperwork and confusing admin during such a difficult time. This is why all MiFuneral Policies include a Funeral Assistance Service that can help your family with all aspects of funeral planning.

This compassionate telephonic service can help with everything from choosing a funeral home to understanding legal documents, including funeral policies and procedural guidance. It can even assist with arranging transportation and accommodation for out-of-town guests. With MiFuneral Policy, you can rest assured that your family will be taken care of financially and emotionally after you're gone.

The bottom line

We’ll all pass away one day but we don’t have to let what should be a celebration of your life become clouded by financial stress or family fights. Having a funeral policy is a smart move for anyone who wants to make sure that their family is taken care of after they're gone, so don't wait until it's too late.
