Funeral Plans from Hollard

Why Should I Consider Funeral Plans from Hollard?

• Hollard is a well-known South African insurer.
• Funeral plans from Hollard have affordable premiums.
• Funeral costs are constantly increasing.
• Being prepared for the costs of a funeral makes good financial sense.
• You can cover your whole family.

Death is not something that we like to think about. Most of us think it is a bit of a morbid topic and, consequently, something that can be dealt with later. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking can land you or your loved ones in serious financial trouble.

And, certainly, the younger you are, the less important having funeral cover seems especially as death seems to be a long way off. It’s time to face facts, though – death doesn’t discriminate. You or a loved one could be involved in an accident or be a victim of crime.

At this time, it is difficult enough to have to deal with the loss, not to mention the financial burden that comes with it.

You’ll need money – lots of it – to pay for the service, coffin (and you do need one of these when cremated as well), transport, food, etc. The costs can work out to thousands even for a modest funeral.

And that is why you need to consider taking out funeral cover. This is a specialized insurance that pays out in the case of death. The money is paid out quickly, so it is on hand when needed and usually in cash so that it can be used for whatever is needed.
