Mzansi ranked in top 25 in world for costly burial ceremonies
With South Africa the most expensive country to die in, experts advise that funeral cover for an average citizen is no longer a necessity but a must for peace of mind.
According to a 2020 Sun Life study, South Africa ranked 21st in the world for the cost of a funeral and fourth if that cost is calculated as a percentage of income.
Sun Life is one of the world's biggest and oldest insurers and is headquartered in Canada.
Head of people at Finchoice, a financial services outfit, Nelisiwe Seyuba, says from the moment an average South African (read black) dies, their home will be full of visitors.
