Family Funeral Cover
"Non-compulsory" cover available to all new Members of the Scheme.
The Benefit!
The Family Funeral Cover is a non-compulsory option that is available to all new Members of the Scheme.
It forms part of the Scheme’s benefit offerings to its Members.
The purpose of this cover is to assist families with funeral benefits when the member, his or her legal spouse or any of his or her eligible children should pass away.
In such an event, the following funeral benefits will become payable:
| Immediate Family Members Only | |
|---|---|

| Member | R40 000.00 |
| Spouse | R40 000.00 |

| Child aged 6 to 13 years | R20 000.00 |
| Stillborn to child aged 5 years | R10 000.00 |
Take note that a lump sum is paid in the event of the death of a member, his or her spouse or any of the main member’s eligible children to cover the cost associated with a funeral.
An unlimited number of children of a member may be added to the cover, but only 1 spouse will be covered in the event of death.
The cover cannot be extended to extended family members.
