Traditional funeral plans, that is those that offer goods and services typically cover only specific funeral arrangements from a narrow list of services. While they may offer some level of peace of mind, it’s important to understand what they usually don’t include:
❌ Common Exclusions in Standard Funeral Plans:
Repatriation costs (if you pass away abroad or wish to be buried back home)
Airfare or travel costs for family or the body
Funeral wake or memorial service expenses
Headstones, flowers, catering, or clothes for burial
Any costs that arise outside of the funeral director’s control
Burial plot fees, which can be very high and vary by region
Cultural or faith-specific rituals not offered by mainstream providers
This means that even though your funeral is “prepaid,” your loved ones may still face large unexpected bills — or worse, feel limited in how to give you the send-off you deserve.
There’s a Better Alternative: The Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan
Unlike traditional funeral plans that lock you into a specific provider or package, the Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan gives your family cash within 24 hours of claim approval, to use however they choose. That means:
You’re not told what type of funeral you can or can’t have
Your loved ones can honour your wishes — whether it’s a burial, repatriation, or cultural tradition
You avoid the red tape and limitations of service-only plans
Your funeral is yours to plan — not someone else’s idea of what’s included
In summary:
Standard goods and services funeral plans, often cover less than you think. With the Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan, your family receives fast cash that gives them freedom, dignity, and flexibility — when it matters most.
