FUNERAL COVER

We will arrange to pay the cost of the funeral of a financial member* up to the value of $5,000. In most cases the payment can be made direct to the Funeral Director minimising the financial burden on the family.

This cover provides peace of mind for families already struggling with the loss of a family member.
