Why Having a Funeral Policy is Essential
Mail & Guardian
|M&G 12 December 2025
Planning for the future may not always be comfortable, but having a funeral policy is one of the most responsible financial decisions a person can make.
-
The benefits of being covered far outweigh the consequences of being unprepared.
A funeral policy provides crucial financial support during a time of loss, when loved ones are already dealing with emotional distress. It helps cover the costs associated with funeral arrangements, easing the burden on family members who might otherwise struggle to find the necessary funds. The financial relief allows those left behind to focus on grieving and healing rather than facing the added stress of unexpected expenses. By securing a funeral policy, you are not only protecting your family financially but also offering them peace of mind when they need it most.
