MiFuneral Policy is a modern, digital-first approach to end-of-life planning that can be bought online so you don’t have to pay for an extra broker or administration fees. This makes it affordable as well as accessible but, as it’s designed to meet the real needs of South Africans, each policy also includes value-added benefits to ensure that loved ones are cared for and protected.

One of the policy’s key value-added benefits is our Repatriation Service, which facilitates the respectful and dignified return of the deceased to their home location.

What is MiFuneral’s Repatriation Service?

When a policyholder passes away, the family can initiate the repatriation process by contacting MiWayLife's dedicated Funeral Arrangement support team. Our knowledgeable and compassionate agents can guide the family through all the necessary documentation and coordinate with relevant authorities and service providers. The goal is to ensure a smooth and efficient process while adhering to any legal and health regulations.

The details you should know

MiFuneral Policy’s cover is only available to citizens and permanent residents of South Africa. Our Repatriation Service provides air or road repatriation of the life insured’s remains to a funeral parlour closest to their residence within South Africa. This benefit will be available when the deceased life insured’s remains are more than 100km away from their residence within South Africa or its neighbouring countries – Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe.

Our Repatriation Benefit also includes assistance with documentation and coordination with authorities and transportation of ashes to the deceased’s place of residence after cremation.

Compassionate support every step of the way

The MiFuneral team understands the emotional toll of losing a loved one and is committed to providing empathetic assistance. We also offer access to a 24-hour bereavement counselling line to support the next of kin should they be required to identify their loved one. This way, families can rest assured that their needs will be met with the utmost care and sensitivity.
