Questions from Secunda

Can I cover my mother in Limpopo on a policy I take out in Secunda?
Yes. Parents do not need to live with you or in the same province. The insurer asks her age and adds her at her own age band. If she would need to be brought home for the funeral, ask about the repatriation add-on.
I belong to a burial society in Secunda. Does that stop me claiming on a policy?
No. A society benefit and a policy benefit are separate, and the insurer pays the full policy amount regardless of what the society contributes.
How long does a claim take if the death certificate comes from Home Affairs in Secunda?
Once the insurer has the death certificate, the IDs and the policy details, many pay within 48 hours. The Home Affairs step is usually the slower part, so ask the undertaker to help with the certificate.
