No matter how well prepared you are for it, the death of a loved one is always a shock. And while coping with your loss, the last thing you want is added stress and the emotional upset of planning and organising the funeral. Yet we all have to deal with it at some time or other and the trauma when trying to come to terms with the facts of life will be drastically increased if there are insufficient funds available to you or your dependants to cover burial costs and other expenses.
The Doves Group is well known and established in the South African funeral industry, with approximately 160 funeral branches countrywide. It is a member of the National Funeral Directors Association of South Africa. We also have access to on international network for your added convenience.
Designed and offered in association with Union Life Ltd *, the Doves Funeral Plan is a funeral insurance package that provides both the finance needed and access to Doves' dignified and professional funeral services.
* Union Life is a joint venture between NUMSA Investment and Metropolitan Holdings Limited
FOR AS LITTLE AS R20 PER MONTH
YOU CAN INSURE YOURSELF FOR R5 000!A premium of R38 per month, will provide R5000 funeral cover for yourself, your spouse and children. And you have the option to increase this cover to R10000!
Doves Funeral Plan is available to married couples, single parents and single persons over the age of 18. Children are automatically covered until age of 21, dependent children cover until age of 25. Extended family members are nominated by you and for whom a premium is paid.
As no medical questions are asked, a waiting period of six months applies in the case of natural death. This applies from the commencement date and no claim can be made in this period. When death occurs as a result on an accident during the first six months – provided the deceased did not contribute to his own death – the normal benefits will be payable.
Cash is available within 48 hours after we receive the required documents such as a certified death certificate, the Doves Funeral Plan membership certificate and a claim document.
Previously the Doves Funeral Cover was only available to groups of employees.
Individual cover, now available only through direct online application (cost effective), hence probably the lowest premiums in this industry (any policy that you buy is only as good as the company that issues it and its claims-paying ability).
