Why get a funeral plan?
We do everything we can to make sure the people we love are taken care of. We do it in life. So why not do it in death? Organising a funeral can become a burden on any budget. From catering to caskets, funeral costs quickly add up.
That’s where Old Mutual funeral plans come in. You pay a monthly amount (premium) so that in the event of death of an insured person, a specified amount (your cover) is paid out. This amount helps pay for funeral costs, so loved ones can focus on what’s really important: saying their final goodbyes.

Funeral cover is an insurance policy where you pay a monthly premium, and it pays out a single amount when you (or a family member covered in the policy) dies. The amount paid out can be used towards expenses like a coffin, tombstone, and catering. This ensures that when the time comes to say goodbye, your family will have some money towards funeral costs and may not need to go into debt.
When it comes to life and funeral insurance, one isn’t better than the other because both serve different needs when someone passes away. A funeral plan pays towards the expenses of a specific event: a funeral. Life insurance provides for a family financially for the long term when they lose a breadwinner. It’s important to consider both as an integral part of your financial planning, and it’s possible to have both types of cover.
Read more about the differences between life and funeral cover and why it’s important to have both.
There are four advantages of having funeral cover:
- Avoid leaving your family desperate during a difficult time.
- Avoid prolonging the process and give yourself peace of mind.
- Avoid having your family go into debt when paying funeral expenses.
- Have the convenience of cover that pays out quickly for those immediate funeral expenses.
