Talking about funeral cover isn’t easy. Many of us put it off or avoid it completely, often because of things we’ve heard that simply aren’t true. The truth is, funeral cover is designed to be affordable, flexible and there to help your family financially when they need it most.

Let’s clear up a few of the biggest myths so you can see how funeral cover really works.

Myth 1: “Funeral cover is too expensive”

Funerals are expensive, not funeral cover! One of the main reasons people shy away from funeral cover is the belief that it will cost too much every month. But it doesn’t have to break the bank. With MiFuneral, you choose a premium that works for your budget, with cover that fits your family’s needs. Because it’s digital-first, you’re not paying extra for brokers or paperwork.

Having a policy in place means your family won’t be left scrambling to find money during an already heartbreaking time. Instead, they’ll have immediate financial support to give their loved one the farewell they deserve.

Being able to add loved ones to your policy means you’re protecting everyone who matters most to you. Whether you’re just starting your career or already planning for retirement, funeral cover is there to make sure your family won’t face financial strain when the unexpected happens.

Myth 3: “I don’t need funeral cover if I already have life insurance”

Life insurance and funeral cover often get confused, but they play different roles. Life insurance is there to protect long-term financial security, like paying school fees or settling debts. Funeral cover, on the other hand, pays out quickly to cover immediate costs like the service, transport, and burial or cremation.

With MiFuneral, your family can expect a payout within 48 hours of a valid claim. That means they’ll have the funds they need right when it matters most, without waiting weeks or months. Having both life and funeral cover gives you complete peace of mind.

Myth 4: “All funeral cover is the same”

Nope, not all funeral cover is created equally and MiFuneral is committed to giving you more. Each of our policies includes telephonic assistance with funeral arrangements and a Repatriation Service. This ensures that if a loved one passes away more than 100km from home, their remains can be brought back to their nearest funeral home in South Africa.

The Bottom Line

Funeral cover isn’t only for certain people, it’s for anyone who wants to take the weight off their family’s shoulders. Also, not all funeral cover is the same. By choosing MiFuneral, you’re making sure your loved ones are looked after financially and practically when they need it most. No myths, no confusion, just complete peace of mind.
