Why Every Man Needs Funeral Cover
Why Every Man Needs Funeral Cover
17 Nov 2025

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, but being the man with the “plan”, makes all the difference.

Let’s be real, talking about funeral cover probably isn’t a highlight when you’re catching up with your friends around the braai. But being “too young,” “too healthy,” or “too busy” won’t stop life from doing its thing. And when it does, your family shouldn’t have to stress about money or admin.

That’s where MiFuneral steps in to bust a few myths that are stopping too many men from getting the cover they actually need.

Myth 1: “I’m too healthy for funeral cover”

You like to hit the gym and you’re packing in the protein, but good health doesn’t make you bulletproof. No matter how many sit-ups you do, life can still throw a curveball. That’s why MiFuneral pays out within 48 hours, so your family isn’t left waiting when the unexpected happens. It’s not about being negative; it’s about being smart enough to plan ahead.

Myth 2: “My family will sort it out”

They’ll try, but should they have to? Between funeral costs, admin, and paperwork, your loved ones deserve better. Funeral cover gives them quick access to funds when they need it most. Remember, your bank accounts are frozen after your passing, so this payout makes all the difference.

With MiFuneral, your family also gets telephonic support through our Funeral Arrangements Service. This offers guidance on planning the funeral and help with tricky admin, like obtaining a death certificate. Plus, your policy includes a Repatriation Service, which assists with the transport of mortal remains within South Africa and neighbouring countries. Everything’s handled with care, so your loved ones can focus on saying goodbye, not sorting out logistics.

Myth 3: “Funeral cover is expensive”

Not this one! MiFuneral is 100% digital, which means no middlemen, no broker fees, no hidden costs, just transparent pricing that suits your pocket. You can even customise your cover to include your spouse, kids, parents, or extended family. One simple plan for total peace of mind.

Myth 4: “I’m too young to worry about that”

That’s exactly why you should. The younger you are, the lower your premium will be. Better yet, once you’re covered, you’re protected for life as long as you don’t miss your payments.

Myth 5: “It’s too much hassle to set up”

You’ve ordered essentials like game-night groceries online. We think getting funeral cover should be just as easy. With MiFuneral’s quick digital sign-up, you can get covered in minutes, no paperwork required!

The Bottom Line

Real men plan for to protect the people the love, not just today, but for every “what if.” MiFuneral lets you do it your way. It’s digital, fast, affordable, and designed for South Africans just like you. Because a funeral policy isn’t something you wait for, it’s peace of mind you put in place today, so you can focus on enjoying every tomorrow.
