Funeral & Family
Protection Cover

Funeral cover

Funeral cover is designed to pay for funeral costs and other once-off final expenses, so that your family members do not have to struggle financially at an already difficult time. You can decide how much funeral cover you need and who you’d like to include in your policy, and you’ll then pay a monthly premium. You can speak to a SanlamAllianz adviser about personalised funeral cover options.
