You take out life insurance on your own life, to give your family financial protection against your death and the loss of your income. The life insurer issues a payment to your nominated beneficiary.
Funeral cover insures you and your immediate or extended family members on the same policy. It pays out when a member dies to cover funeral and related expenses and if you pass, the policy pays out to your nominated beneficiary.
Your family can use your life insurance pay-out to cover daily living expenses, medical bills and school fees, or to pay off debts, like your house or cars. Your family can also use your pay-out to start building generational wealth.
