You can have policies with different insurers, with up to R100 000 of cover per insurer. You are also allowed to have more than one policy per insured life with the same insurer. By law, an insurer can only pay out a maximum of R100 000 per life on a funeral policy. So as long as the overall cover limit is R100 000 or less, both will pay out in the event of a valid claim.
Can I be ‘overinsured’?
First off, you need to determine your specific needs in relation to the costs associated with death and funerals. You may become overinsured specifically in relation to funeral insurance, and where a different product (for example life insurance) would be more appropriate than multiple funeral insurance policies. You are welcome to discuss this with us, to ensure you make the right choice.
