Hollard Funeral Insurance

Established in 1980, the Hollard Insurance Group is South Africa’s largest privately-owned insurance group and includes The Hollard Insurance Company, Hollard Life Assurance Company and Hollard Investment Managers.

Hollard offers funeral plans from R10,000 to R75,000 and pays out within 48 hours of a valid claim being submitted. Hollard funeral policies are drawn up specifically for you and your needs and you are covered from the moment your first premium is paid, you don’t even need to go for a medical exam to qualify first. To make sure your Hollard funeral cover keeps up with the rising cost of funerals, your cover and payment increase with 7% each year.

You can include several dependents to your Hollard funeral cover for a small extra amount. This includes:

• Your partner and/or spouse for up to R75,000
• A maximum of five children under the age of 21 up to R20,000 each
• Parents and partner’s parents under the age of 75 up to R20,000 each

Further to this, you can also opt to include extra benefits to your Hollard funeral cover, such as:

• Monthly provider
• Memorial benefit to pay for an unveiling ceremony
• Life cover
• Personal accident benefit that pays out up to R100,000 if you die accidentally or become disabled
• Vehicle access benefit which will give you an Avis car rental vehicle to use for three days while organising the funeral
• Moneyback benefit which pays out a lump sum of 20% of all payments you’ve made after five years. This only applies if your Hollard funeral policy has been in place for a continuous period of five year and all 60 payments have been received
