The festive season is when most of us slow down, relax, and spend time with loved ones, but life doesn’t always stick to the calendar. The truth is, funerals don’t take a holiday, and losing someone over the festive period can be even more stressful when services are closed, costs rise, and families are scattered across the country.

That’s why having funeral cover that’s always active is so important. It ensures that should the unexpected happen, your family can focus on being together, not on scrambling for funds or facing unexpected delays.

Life Doesn’t Pause For The Holidays

Between travel, family gatherings, and jam packed schedules, many South Africans find themselves far from home during the festive season. Sadly, if someone passes away during this busy period, the cost of transporting their body home can be surprisingly expensive.

That’s where MiFuneral’s Repatriation Service, a benefit that’s included in all our funeral policies, can step in. It covers transport of the remains within 100km of their residence, including neighbouring countries like Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, and Mozambique, ensuring your loved one is brought home safely and with dignity. The benefit also includes assistance with documentation and coordination with authorities.

Covering More Than Just The Basics

Funeral costs don’t stop at the burial or cremation. There are hidden expenses like  travel for family members, accommodation and catering that can quickly add up.

If you have a MiFuneral Policy and have chosen to include our optional Final Expenses cover, your family will receive a lump sum payout of R50 000. This benefit is not intended to cover the cost of the funeral but is available to protect your loved ones against any other end-of-life expenses. Better yet, just like our Funeral Cover benefit, it pays out fast – within 48 hours of filing a successful claim.

All MiFuneral policies also include a Funeral Arrangements Service, offering guidance and admin support when your loved ones need it most.

The Bottom Line

When you have funeral cover that works 365 days a year, you’re giving your family more than financial support, you’re giving them peace of mind, even during the busiest time of the year. This festive season, protect what matters most with MiFuneral, because love doesn’t take time off, and neither should your cover.
