Frequently asked questions
What is 1Life Pure Life Plus?+
Pure Life Plus bundles life insurance AND funeral cover on a single policy, saving up to 28% on combined premium versus buying the two products separately. Includes up to R12 million life cover for the policyholder plus up to R50,000 funeral cover for up to 16 family or extended-family members. Strongest fit if you want both products from one insurer.
Can I buy 1Life funeral cover separately?+
Yes — 1Life sells standalone funeral cover at single-life and family configurations. The bundled Pure Life Plus is a cost-saving for clients who want life + funeral together; standalone funeral suits clients who already have life cover elsewhere or only want funeral protection.
How many family members can 1Life cover?+
Pure Life Plus extends funeral cover to up to 16 family or extended-family members under one policy. This is among the highest in the SA market — Old Mutual, Sanlam and AVBOB typically cap at 14 lives.
Is 1Life funeral cover online?+
Yes — 1Life is direct-to-consumer with full online application. Quote-to-cover typically same-day for low-medical-risk applicants. No advisor required, though the 1Life call centre is available for help.
