What Your Family Wont Tell You About Your Funeral Deep Etch Solace

When it comes to funerals, there’s one truth many families won’t say out loud: they don’t want to pay for it. The reality is, funeral costs can be overwhelming, and without planning, they often fall on the shoulders of loved ones already dealing with grief and loss.

Why Waiting to Get Funeral Cover Could Cost Your Family More Than You Think

Funeral cover is the most common insurance in South Africa — but not all providers are created equal. With Solace, you get straightforward plans, no hidden fees, and a simple process designed for real families.

Every day you delay getting covered, your loved ones face the risk of paying thousands of rand out of pocket during an already painful time.

Don’t leave their peace of mind to chance. Get covered with Solace today — before life’s uncertainties force tough decisions on your family tomorrow.

If you'r employer is signed up with Solace, our quick and easy application process means you could have protection in place for your whole family.

The Unspoken Burden of Funeral Costs

Families often avoid discussing funeral expenses for a simple reason — no one wants to think about death or financial struggles during such emotional times. Yet, when a loved one passes, these costs suddenly become urgent.

Transport, burial fees, coffin or casket expenses, catering for mourners, funeral home services — the list is long and costly. Many families end up borrowing money, delaying funeral arrangements, or going into debt just to say goodbye properly.

The stress of these unexpected expenses can turn what should be a time of remembrance and peace into conflict and hardship.

Taking Control: How Funeral Cover Helps You Protect Your Family

You have the power to spare your family from this hidden burden. Funeral cover is not just an insurance policy — it’s an act of love, dignity, and responsibility.

At Legal&Tax, our Funeral Plan is designed to be simple and transparent. There are no confusing fees or hidden charges — just straightforward cover that you can understand and trust.
