The Various Steps To Be Followed While Claiming A Funeral Policy
While Claiming A Funeral Policy remember that that the costs incurred by you will
be reimbursed from the Estate of the deceased person whereas as the organizer of the funeral, you are also responsible for payment of all funeral related bills, before receiving funds from the Estate. Since these bills are huge, it certainly can cause sleepless nights for those with low-income.
To assist people in to tide themselves in these situations, the government has introduced The Social Fund, which can sometimes help with a loan towards payment of funeral costs, which is paid off when funds from the deceased's Estate are released.
Your eligibility to receive a Funeral Payment will depend on either you or your partner's circumstances:
The type and amount of financial support you are currently having.
Your relationship with the deceased
Besides your personal savings, any other financial assistance you may be having to help with costs
In order to qualify for the claim you must be the deceased's partner at the time of their death, their parent or at least a close relative or friend.
Remember that a Funeral Payment includes the burial or cremation fees and other funeral expenses up to a certain fixed amount as claimed by you in the Funeral Policy, This includes:
funeral directors fees
flowers and coffin
Please remember that if the person who had died had a pre-paid funeral plan then you will only get help for those items which have not been already covered by the plan.
How Funeral Payments are paid: This works in two simple ways:-
It works on the assumption that if the funeral directors bill hasnt already been paid, the Funeral Payment will usually be paid directly into their bank account.
If the funeral directors bill has been paid, the payment will be made directly in your bank account.
Always remember to make the Funeral Expenses claim within 3 months of the date of the funeral.
Always remember to send us the original death certificate or a certified copy,
