Simple Process
A transparent, governance-driven approach to family funeral assistance
Create your account, verify your identity, and apply for membership. Membership is limited to the defined family group.
Select a contribution from $5 to $100/month based on your preference. Higher contributions build reserves faster.
Pay via Stripe (global), PayNow (Zimbabwe), or PayFast (South Africa). Funds are pooled securely with full transparency.
Submit a claim with documents. Claims are verified and approved through dual authorisation for full transparency.
Our Foundation
Every aspect of the fund is designed with transparency, accountability, and family values at its core
This is not insurance. Benefits are assistance grants subject to available funds and committee approval — keeping the fund legally safe.
Every claim requires verification by the Claims Officer and dual authorisation from the Treasurer and a Trustee.
Tiered waiting periods prevent adverse selection: 0-3 months (no benefit), 4-6 months (partial), 7+ months (full eligibility).
Accept contributions in USD, GBP, ZAR, and ZWL. Members can join from UK, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and beyond.
Every contribution, claim, approval, and payout is recorded with timestamps. Monthly statements provided to all members.
Elected committee (Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, Claims Officer) with defined roles, dispute resolution, and annual reviews.
Flexible Plans
Contribute from $5 to $100+ per month. Higher contributions build fund reserves faster.
