Although the intention of the policy is to cater for the immediate needs associated with a funeral, the claim recipient can spend the money as they like. That’s why it’s important to nominate a beneficiary that you trust.
The good news is that they can use the money to spend at any funeral parlour and make funeral arrangements as they like, as per your wishes.
Are there any restrictions on the geographic area where my funeral can take place with funeral insurance?
No – but we cover lives in SA only. This means that anyone, from any country that has a passport and a valid permit for being in SA can also be covered. Read more on who can apply for funeral insurance.
Claim payments will be made into a SA bank account, which can then be used for funeral arrangements in another country as the claimant sees fit. All ZAZU Life policies include a 3,000km repatriation benefit as part of our Zazu On-Hand value-added services – this includes cross-border repatriation. Read more about beneficiaries.
