BENEFITS What we offer Let's take a closer look at the benefits that come with our Metropolitan Funeral Plan. Cover your children Choose whether to cover your children for life or for a limited time, up to age 21. We'll take care of your premiums if you can’t Choose the Payment Protection benefits on death, disability and/or retirement and we'll cover the cost of your premiums when you become disabled, retire or pass away. A family member can take over the plan to ensure the plan continues. Get some of your premiums back Choose the CashBack benefit and get some of your premiums back by staying on track with your plan. We'll give you two premiums after your first 12 months. Thereafter, we'll give you six premiums after every 36 months. The average cost of a CashBack benefit is 16.5% of your premium. The availability and value of your optional CashBack benefit is generally contingent on your future actions. T&Cs apply. Transportation of the deceased's body (repatriation) We'll cover the costs to transport the deceased person's body to the place of burial within South Africa. T&Cs apply. Cover the rising cost of living (inflation) Add the Value Protection benefit to your plan to keep up with the rising funeral costs.

Read more Why choose Metropolitan See what our customers think of us and what we are proud of. In the midst of the pandemic, I wanted to get my affairs in order. I made my daughter enter my details online, hoping someone would call me back to update my polices, which are almost 28 years old. I didn't have much hope. Until Sam from Metropolitan called me and assisted me over one weekend. He was professional and courteous. My only regret is that we did not cross paths sooner. By User Nitya Naidoo I seldom experience the kind of 5-star client service I received from Metropolitan, days after my beautiful mother passed from Covid complications. I can proudly say you treated me and those around me with dignity, love and respect. When I thanked the consultant, Alfred, he said "We are family". It felt like he was acknowledging my mother as his mother too. She would have loved that.
