Got Questions? We’ve Got Straight Answers

Premiums start from as little as R150 pm depending on the level of cover and the number of people on your policy.

Do I have to use Thom Kight Funeral Directors?

What documents do I need to claim?

  • Completed and signed claim form.
  • Certified copy of the Claimant’s ID.
  • Certified copy of the deceased’s ID.
  • Death certificate.
  • Notification of death: BI 1663, completed by the doctor who certified the death.
  • Police report (if death occurred due to accidental / unnatural causes).
