Frequently Asked Questions
? What is Group Funeral Cover and how does it work?
Group Funeral Cover is an insurance policy that provides quick financial assistance to cover funeral expenses when a member of the insured group or their dependents passes away. It works by paying out a fixed lump sum—typically within 48 to 72 hours—to the nominated beneficiary, helping the family manage immediate funeral and burial costs without financial strain. It’s commonly offered by welfare groups, employers or organizations as part of an employee benefits package.
? What's the difference between life insurance and funeral cover?
The key difference between Group Life Insurance and Group Funeral Cover lies in their scope and purpose. Group Life Insurance provides a lump sum benefit to the family of a deceased employee, offering long-term financial support. In contrast, Group Funeral Cover is specifically designed to cover immediate funeral expenses, ensuring quick payout to ease the financial burden of burial and related costs.
? Is there funeral cover payout limit
Funeral cover policies typically have a payout limit, which is the maximum amount the insurer will pay upon the death of a covered individual. This limit varies depending on the policy, insurer, and level of cover chosen. For Group Funeral Cover, the payout is usually predefined and agreed upon at the start of the policy—often ranging from KES x to KES x or more, depending on the plan and number of dependents included.
