Comprehensive Funeral Cover
Because every life deserves dignity — and every family deserves peace.
At Progress Administrators, we understand the emotional and financial stress that comes with losing a loved one. That’s why we offer comprehensive funeral cover designed to give individuals, families, and employees the support they need — when they need it most.
Whether you’re an individual looking to protect your family, a union securing member benefits, or an employer supporting your workforce, our funeral solutions are fast-paying, flexible, and built with compassion.
Why Funeral Cover Matters
Funeral costs in South Africa can range from R10,000 to R50,000 or more. Without proper cover, families are often forced to borrow money, deplete savings, or delay services — compounding grief with financial pressure.
Funeral cover gives you immediate access to funds, helping you arrange a dignified farewell without financial strain.

We offer individual, family, and group funeral policies with flexible benefits and affordable premiums. Cover can include:
- Main member
- Spouse or partner
- Children (up to 6 or more)
- Parents and parents-in-law
- Extended family
Cover options range from R10,000 to R50,000 per person, with premiums tailored to your budget and age group.
