Metropolitan Family Funeral Plan Cover Levels

With Metropolitan family funeral coverage, you can choose cover from R5000 to R50 000. This will ensure that you get a plan that will suit your needs. Premiums will be determined subject on the level of cover you need. There are a couple of factors that help define the cost. Most notably, the ages and cover levels. The longer you wait to get cover, the more it will cost. As we grow older, so does our risk. We always suggest that you do not wait too long before you get cover.

Are There Any Waiting Periods?

There are no medical questions or exams. However, please note there will be a 6 month waiting period. The waiting period is only related to natural death. This is simply to prevent buyers from taking the plan last minute. The idea is to stop people taking a policy when they know the person is dying. Accidental death will be covered from your first payment. This means you will have no waiting period for accidents. This is one way they make up for the industry standard waiting period for natural death.
