One Year of MiFuneral: Helping South Africans Plan Ahead
One Year of MiFuneral: Helping South Africans Plan Ahead
01 Aug 2025

South Africa’s digital-first funeral policy is celebrating 1 year of helping South Africans enjoy real peace of mind.

It’s hard to believe that MiFuneral is already one year old! In just 12 months, our innovative, digital-first funeral policy has transformed how South Africans prepare for life’s most difficult moments and empowered families with support when they’ve needed it most.

Built on MiWayLife’s commitment to flexibility, affordability and innovation, MiFuneral was designed to give people more control, more transparency and more valuable benefits when it comes to end-of-life planning.

One Year of Cover For Everyone

From the start, MiFuneral has made it easier for people to plan ahead, without the usual paperwork, queues or high broker fees. Our fully online sign-up process means you can buy a policy anytime, from anywhere – no sales pressure, no hidden costs, just cover you can trust.

And it’s not just for you. MiFuneral believes that all South African’s should have funeral cover which is why we make it easy for our policyholders to cover immediate and extended family members – up to 18 lives on one policy – with flexible benefit amounts to suit your budget. Spouses, children, parents, even in-laws and cousins can be added in minutes.

One Year of Giving You More 

We understand that a funeral is only part of what your loved ones face when someone passes. That’s why MiFuneral goes beyond a simple payout.

When you sign up for MiFuneral, you can opt for Final Expenses Cover, an additional lump sum cover to help with any expenses they might incur after losing a loved one. You could also choose an Income Support Cover that provides a monthly income of up to R8,000, paid out for 12 months after a valid claim. This helps ease the financial pressure that can follow the loss of a breadwinner.

Plus, every policy includes Funeral Assistance Services to help your family navigate complex processes – from obtaining a death certificate to finding trusted service providers and accessing 24/7 bereavement counselling. All policies also include a Repatriation Service. This helps arrange the transport required to return your loved one’s remains to a funeral parlour closest to their residence if they pass away more than 100km from home.

One Year of Fast Payouts

In a time of grief, waiting for money only adds unnecessary stress. That’s why MiFuneral prioritises a speedy claims process. Once all the required documents are received, approved claims are paid out within 48 hours, helping families get the
support they need without delay so they can focus on giving their loved on a dignified farewell.

One Year of Better Value

MiFuneral is designed to suit your pocket. With no broker fees or complicated admin, we pass those savings on to you and make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for. Premiums are tailored to your unique risk profile and, because you get to choose your cover amount, you can ensure it’s always in line with your budget.

We remain committed to helping people plan better, protect their families and honour their memories with simple, accessible cover that always puts them first.
