Nobody likes to think about death. Especially not during these grim, and uncertain times we live in. But accepting that death is inevitable helps you prepare for it and can make the grieving process easier for those you leave behind.
Death is expensive, especially in these economic downtimes. The cost of a decent funeral for a loved one can upend a family's financial security. This is why you should consider getting funeral insurance cover to cushion you from the financial stress a sudden death can bring.
Here are some Funeral Covers in Kenya you can consider getting for you and your family:
