The Truth Behind Funeral Cover Myths. This financial burden of losing a loved one often compounds the emotional distress of losing a loved one and often comes unexpectedly.
South Africa is one of the most expenses places to die, leaving families scrambling for funds during an already emotional time. Funeral cover can ease this strain by providing a safety net, yet many South Africans hesitate due to myths and misconceptions.

Myth 2: "I’m young and healthy, so I don’t need funeral cover now."
Reality: Life is unpredictable, and planning ahead is always wise. Younger individuals often underestimate the value of securing funeral cover early, but it offers significant advantages:
For young people, funeral cover also demonstrates financial responsibility and maturity. By securing a policy early, you not only save on costs but also reduce stress for your loved ones in case the unexpected occurs.
Myth 3: "Funeral cover only benefits older people."
Reality: Funeral cover is versatile and caters to everyone, including young individuals and immediate family. Legal&Tax offers plans that provide:
For families, funeral cover ensures that surviving members can focus on grieving rather than dealing with the financial stress of covering funeral costs. This myth often stems from the misconception that funeral cover is only necessary for elderly people, but in reality, anyone and immediate families can benefit from having a solid plan in place.
Myth 4: "I already have life insurance, so I don’t need funeral cover."
Reality: While life insurance and funeral cover both provide financial support, they serve different purposes:
Without funeral cover, families may face cash flow challenges in the critical days following a death. For example, life insurance might help secure the family's future, but funeral cover ensures that the immediate expense such as transport of the deceased, venue hire, and traditional rituals are handled promptly by being paid out a lump sum amount.
Myth 5: "Funeral cover payouts take too long."
Reality: Many people fear delays in payouts, but with Legal&Tax, you don’t have to worry about this concern. Claims are processed efficiently to provide timely support during difficult moments.
Delayed payouts are a common fear, but Legal&Tax prioritises quick processing to ensure families can cover immediate needs such as flowers transport, and burial expenses or whichever expenses need to be covered for. Knowing this can provide invaluable peace of mind during a stressful time.
