Losing a loved one is never easy and the weight of planning a funeral can add a lot of extra stress during an already emotional time. At MiWayLife, we know this well, which is why our MiFuneral Policy goes beyond financial support, offering a Funeral Arrangements Service designed to lighten the load of funeral related admin. By providing you with practical advice and connecting you with trusted providers, the service ensures all the details is handled with care, respect, and sensitivity to your family’s traditions.

Here’s how it works and why it matters.

More Than Just Financial Cover

Would you know how to obtain a death certificate? First, you’d have to get a Notification of Death Form from a medical practitioner and only then could you take it to your nearest Home Affairs Office that would issue the death certificate. The process isn’t always straightforward and having someone who understands the ins and outs guide you through it can be invaluable – and that’s exactly what you get with MiFuneral.

All MiFuneral policies include access to our complementary Funeral Arrangements Service, providing 24/7 telephonic support when you need it most. Whether you need a referral to a funeral parlour in your area, assistance from a pathologist for unnatural deaths, or guidance about the required documentation to file a claim, we’ve got you covered. This way, you can focus on what truly matters – honouring your loved one. Your beneficiaries may also access discounts from select providers, giving you even more value.

Easing the Stress of Planning

We realise that, sometimes, a funeral draws family members from all over the country. Worrying about where they’re going to stay should be the last thing on your mind. Fortunately, our Funeral Arrange Service can assist in arranging overnight accommodation for immediate family members travelling from out of town. While the cost of this accommodation isn’t covered by the service, this can be paid for via your Funeral Benefit.

Speaking of benefits, with MiFuneral, you also get the option to include extra benefits, like Final Expenses Cover to take care of any end-of-life expenses and Income Support Cover that provides your family with a monthly income for 12 months after your passing.

Bring Your Loved One Home

Another incredibly helpful benefit that’s included in all MiFuneral Policies is our Repatriation Service. It ensures all the organising involved in arranging the respectful transport of your loved one’s remains to a chosen funeral parlour within South Africa, even if they pass away more than 100km from home or in neighbouring countries like Botswana or Namibia. This benefit also covers documentation and coordination with authorities, sparing your family from additional stress.

The Bottom Line

MiFuneral’s complementary Funeral Arrangements Service is just one way we can give your family greater peace of mind. By streamlining a potentially complicated process and providing compassionate telephonic support, you can focus on grieving and celebrating your loved one’s life.
