Some important things you should know:

Dignity Funeral Insurance is an insurance policy, not a savings or investment plan.
You may pay more in premiums than your benefit amount.
Your benefit amount may not cover all your funeral expenses and associated costs, or the costs associated with a Terminal Illness. Inflation may also reduce its value over time. It is important to carefully consider the benefit amount you choose.
Cover is for accidental death only within the first 12 months. After 12 months, cover is for any cause of death and terminal illness.
If you change your mind within 30 days from the purchase date ("cooling-off period") and no claim is made, you may cancel your policy and receive a full refund of any premiums paid. If you cancel your policy after the cooling-off period, you do not receive your premiums back, nor will you be entitled to any benefit amount.
