Group Funeral

The benefits can be extended to cover parents, spouses and children.

Permanent Disability Cover: This seeks to provide the payment of a lump sum in the event of a covered member being permanently disabled as a result of an accident. The extent of the incapacitation is determined by a medical doctor and thus the payment is made on a pre-determined agreed scale of incapacitation.
Temporary Disability Cover: This also seeks to provide the payment of a weekly benefit up to a maximum of 52 weeks as a result of temporary disablement resulting from an accident. The maximum weekly benefit payable is the actual income of the person before the incapacitation.
