Thanks to wonderful weather and the fact that most people get a little time off during the Christmas holidays, December is one of the most popular times to take a road trip in South Africa. Unfortunately, it’s this busy period that also makes it the most dangerous. According to our Transport Minister, Sindisiwe Chikunga, 1 427 people died in road accidents in South Africa over last year’s festive season.

While this number has thankfully dropped by 1.7%, December is still the most dangerous month to travel because there are more people on the road than usual, and many are still overindulging before getting behind the wheel.

Why funeral cover is important

Nobody likes to think about becoming a December holiday travel accident statistic, but nothing in life is guaranteed. This is why we have insurance – for our cars, our belongings and even our lives. Being prepared means that we can get back to living, safe in the knowledge that should the worst-case scenario come about, at least our families are financially protected.

At MiWayLife, we believe every South African should have funeral cover. Funerals can be surprisingly expensive and without it, many families often find themselves struggling to afford a dignified farewell for their loved ones, leading to added stress and anxiety. This can even result in arguments about who’s going to pay for what, causing division during a period where everyone should be brought closer together, not driven apart.

MiFuneral makes funeral cover easy and affordable

MiFuneral is our NEW digital-only funereal policy solution that prides itself on being transparent and affordable. It can be bought online with just a few clicks - cutting out broker and extra admin fees - and you get to choose your coverage amount, so you can expect to enjoy a low premium. You can even choose if you’d like to cover just yourself or include your family members – all on one policy for one low monthly premium.

More reasons to choose MiFuneral? You can customise your policy with additional benefits including extra cover to help you meet other end-of-life expenses and our Income Support Cover benefit. The latter means you can select the amount of monthly income you want your beneficiaries to receive and it’s paid out for 12 months after an approved claim.

You’ll also have access to our complimentary Funeral Arrangement Service offering telephonic support to help you understand the application process for all the paperwork and a Repatriation Service benefit that assists with air or road transportation of your loved one’s remains as well as ashes after cremation.

The bottom line

The December holidays are a great time for a little getaway, but don’t leave home without funeral cover. Unlike travel insurance, funeral cover can give you a lifetime of peace of mind. Better yet, if you choose MiFuneral and opt for our Income Support Cover benefit, you can even protect your family financially long into the future.
