Funeral Policies

The passing of a loved one often brings necessary and unforeseen expenses for which most of us are unprepared. Many of us do not keep track of the present costs of a funeral, and even if there is a provision, it may very well fall short.

A funeral needs to be peaceful so that the bereaved family and friends can mourn effectively. Peace does not only come in the form of physical serenity but also as a mental and emotional one.

A loved one who is supposed to take care of the wake may not be financially able to do so. A suitable alternative for this situation is funeral expense insurance. If the premium for the insurance is fully paid, the person will have the means to settle the funeral according to the insurance.

East Rand Funeral Directors no longer administers their own policies. We have handed the administration of our policies into the very capable hands of RISKFIN Funeral Administrators. They can be contacted on 010 021 0470, where Kelebogile and Wilma are waiting to assist you. Wilma’s email address: wilma@riskfin.net, Kelebogile’s email address: kele@riskfin.net.
