Being able to give a loved one a proper send-off with dignity is often possible with funeral cover. Knowing how much cover you will need to carry the costs of a funeral is also vital, but how much funeral cover can you get in South Africa in 2022?
How much funeral cover can you get?
Funeral covers start from R10 000 - R100 000 as a maximum amount in South Africa. Some policies such as MiWayLife’s funeral cover give you the option to cover yourself, your spouse, 8 children, in-laws and extended family members under one premium so that you don't have to worry about keeping track of more than one policy.
Is there an age limit?
While most funeral covers do not require that you undergo a medical examination, there may be some limits that are applied based on age. For example, there is a limit on the cover amount children and senior citizens can get. By law, children under the age of 6 years old can be covered for R10,000 and children between 6 - 14 years old can receive a maximum cover of R30,000.
