Funeral Cover

Funeral costs are seldom considered until the time comes to organise one. And that is probably the worst time of all. Depending on the requirements it could cost anything between N$7 000 and N$30 000!

As sombre as it sounds, your own funeral is very rarely considered. The thought is brushed away with the misconception that there will be enough money in the estate to cover the cost. The problem is that access to funds is temporarily suspended until such time as the estate is wound up. That means loved ones end up paying the costs upfront.
