Choosing a funeral package is one of the kindest decisions you can make for the people you love. It means that when the time comes, your family can focus on saying goodbye, not on finding money. At 21st Century Funeral Services we offer five funeral packages, starting at R190 a month. Here is how they compare, so you can pick the one that fits your family and your budget.
What every 21st Century funeral package includes
No matter which package you choose, every plan includes:
- A complete, dignified funeral service
- A hearse
- Funeral refreshments for your family and guests
- Grocery benefits to support the household
- Free repatriation within South Africa and the SADC region
There is no joining fee, and you are fully covered after a short 3-month waiting period.

Which package suits you?
Premier (from R190): Ideal if you are a young professional, single, or starting a small family. It gives you a full funeral service and the essentials at our most affordable price.
Prestige (from R215): A step up in value while keeping your premium low. A good fit for small families who want peace of mind without stretching the budget.
Prestige Plus (from R245): Our best balance of price and benefits. You get a family vehicle and hall décor, so the day looks and feels the way your family would want.
Family Protector (from R375): Built for extended families. Cover up to 10 people on one policy, which is often simpler and more affordable than several separate plans.
Executive (from R405): Our highest level of cover, with two family vehicles and hall décor. For families who want every detail handled.
Students: cover from R50
If you are a student aged 18 to 26, our Student Funeral Cover gives you funeral benefits worth up to R15 000 for just R50 a month.
