The Benefits of Funeral Cover for Big Family Gatherings
09 Dec 2024

Rounding up the family over the holidays? Having a funeral policy that includes everyone you love is a must.

If you’ve got a big family, you’ll know how good it feels to get together and celebrate over the festive season. Still, there is a downside to these big family gatherings. The December holidays are one of the most dangerous periods to be on the road and, if your family members are travelling from afar, this increases their risk. This is why having funeral cover for all your loved ones is a must.

The benefits of funeral cover for your extended family 


Many people are surprised to learn that the cost of even a modest funeral in South Africa is high. This is why funeral cover is a must-have, but not every insurer will allow you to have all your family members under one policy. MiFuneral, however, is proud to cover multiple family members under a single policy, including your spouse, children, parents, parents-in-law, and up to 12 extended family members!

What else makes MiFuneral a savvy choice for big families who like to travel, be it over the holidays or at any other time? Our Repatriation Service Benefit! This complimentary service is included in every policy to help you manage all the details regarding bringing home the mortal remains of every life covered under the policy. This way, if a family member had to pass away more than 100km away from their residence and unexpectedly passed away, you can rest assured we’ll help you bring them home.

More reasons to choose MiFuneral for your family


Big benefits aside, MiFuneral is a digital-only solution you can purchase online with just a few quick clicks. This cuts out brokers and extra administration fees. You’ll also get to choose your cover amount. This way, we can offer you a pocket-friendly premium.

Another plus? You get to choose your benefits! 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. You’ll also have access to our complimentary Funeral Arrangement Service which provides telephonic support to assist with the application process for death certificates and other legal documents. We can even arrange overnight accommodation for immediate family members who might have to travel from afar to attend your loved one’s funeral.

The bottom line

Funeral cover is a must-have for everyone, especially those with large families. If you’d like to relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that your entire family is financially protected against the cost of a funeral, MiFuneral is a great choice as we can protect all your loved ones with just one policy.
