Why Your Family Deserves Funeral Cover in 2026
22 Jan 2026

With MiFuneral, South Africa’s affordable, digital-first funeral policy, you can start the year with peace of mind.

 

Between that post-Christmas budget stretcher and back-to-school expenses, January can feel like the longest month of the year. That’s why having reliable funeral cover isn’t just a nice-to-have in 2026 – it’s one of the most important ways to protect the people you love.

Support When Your Family Needs It Most

Funeral cover gives your family immediate support during one of life’s hardest moments. Instead of scrambling to cover urgent costs and deal with confusing paperwork, a MiFuneral Policy helps take care of expenses and assists with navigating essential admin. This way, your family can focus on what really matters.

Because MiFuneral is digital-first, you can buy it online with just a few quick clicks. The process is simple and affordable, with no unnecessary admin or broker fees. Claims are fast too, with payouts made within 48 hours, because support shouldn’t have to wait.

With MiFuneral, You Get Even More

Aside from a payout, MiFuneral goes the extra mile to give you added protection. All policies include a Funeral Arrangements Service, providing telephonic support when you need it most. Our compassionate agents will guide you through the often-confusing process of applying for death certificates and connect you to trusted service providers.

Another included benefit is our Repatriation Service. If a loved one passes away far from home, the costs and logistics of bringing them back can be overwhelming. Fortunately, if you have a MiFuneral policy, we’ll assist with the paperwork and cover the cost of returning your loved one to their final resting place with dignity and care. It’s one of those services you may not think about until you need it, and then it becomes invaluable.

Protection That Goes Beyond a Funeral

When a breadwinner passes away, the financial shock can be just as heavy as the emotional one. This is why MiFuneral offers optional benefits like Income Support Cover, which provides your family with a monthly income for 12 months after your passing. You can also opt for Final Expenses Cover – a R50,000 lump sum that can be used for end-of-life costs, medical bills, outstanding debts or anything else your family needs.

Cover for the People Who Matter Most

Families come in all shapes and sizes, which is why being able to cover multiple members under one policy makes such a difference. With MiWayLife, you can cover yourself, your immediate family and even extended family members up to the premium you choose. It’s a simple way to ensure that no one is left financially vulnerable when the unexpected happens.

The Bottom Line

If you’re starting 2026 with the goal of creating more security and less stress for the people you love, funeral cover is a must. But not all funeral policies are created equally, so why not choose one that gives you more? Get a quote from MiFuneral today, let us impress you with our affordable premiums and then step into the new year with the confidence that comes from full peace of mind.
