Funeral Cover
We pay toward the cost of a funeral in the event of the death of an employee, spouse, child or parent
There is no medical underwriting required, and funeral claims are usually paid within 48 hours.
There is no waiting period on either natural or unnatural causes of death, which ensures family members can focus on making funeral arrangements with the financial support they need.
Three group-scheme benefit options are available
Employee-only Funeral Cover
Employee-and-family Funeral Cover (Employee, spouse and child)
Employee-and-extended family Funeral Cover (Employee, spouse, child and parent)
