DIASPORA BURIAL - THE ONLY CHEAP BURIAL YOU CAN GET IS PAUPER'S BURIAL

Some people procrastinate and believe that they don't need cover because they can just be buried in the diaspora. It is also important to appreciate that diaspora burial isn't free either, unless you opt for pauper's burial

One of the key benefits about Zimnat Life's Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan product is that it does not condition for body repatriation to Zimbabwe, you can be buried anywhere in the world or even get cremated should you so wish. Zimnat Life will still payout the full benefit to your appointed beneficiaries and the funds are released through Telegraphic Transfer to any bank account worldwide. The proceeds can be used for any purpose including diaspora burial and things like organising memorial service and probate costs.

In the UK, for example, according to the American Life survey (2006), based on research amongst 100 UK undertakers, average burial cost was £3,307 with a typical cremation costing £4,954.

The more recent AXA survey put the typical total cost of dying in the UK at £5,923, with the funeral part being £2,390.
