The funeral industry is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by evolving societal values, technological advancements, and a growing desire for more personalised and meaningful experiences.

The Future of Funeral Insurance: Adviser-Led Solutions in a Digital Age

As traditional ceremonies evolve, so too must the way financial service providers support families in planning for these significant life events.

At Sanlam, we believe in the power of relationships, the value of face-to-face interactions, and the irreplaceable role of financial advisers in guiding customers through this journey. However, we also recognise that digital transformation presents valuable opportunities to enhance accessibility, efficiency, customer experience and outcomes.

While we firmly believe in the value of in-person financial advice, we also recognise the benefits of digitalisation. "Technology is not here to replace advisers but to enhance the customer experience and improve efficiency," says Gazi. "It allows us to streamline administrative processes, making it easier and faster for advisers to assist clients."

Online platforms provide customers with access to policy details, claims processes, and financial planning resources at their convenience. Furthermore, technology enables us to expand our reach, ensuring that even customers in remote areas receive the guidance they need, ensuring that everyone is included.

"Data-driven insights also allow for a deeper understanding of customer preferences and trends, helping us refine product offerings and improve service delivery," Gazi adds. "The key to success lies in balance; using technology to strengthen, rather than diminish, human connections." By integrating digital advancements thoughtfully, we ensure that the role of the adviser remains at the heart of customer interactions.
