MiWay funeral cover is sold as MiFuneral by MiWayLife, which is a separate business from the MiWay that insures cars and homes. It has its own number, its own website and its own mailboxes.

Official provider route

Product or service support

Support runs from 08:00 to 18:00. MiFuneral is sold as a fully digital product covering a whole family on one plan, alongside MiLifeCover for life insurance and MiWill. Car, home and business insurance stay with MiWay on 0860 64 64 64, so calling that number for a funeral policy sends you to the wrong company.

Eligibility, account or policy requirements

Note the two digits that separate them: MiWayLife is 0860 64 54 33 and MiWay is 0860 64 64 64. The mailboxes also sit on a go.miwaylife.co.za subdomain rather than the plain domain, so copy them exactly. Buying and claiming happen on a third address, miwaylifedirect.co.za, which is where the online purchase and the MiFuneral claims journey live.

Escalation route

Complaints have their own mailbox, [email protected], and should go there rather than to the general enquiries address. If MiWayLife does not resolve a funeral policy complaint, it is a long term insurance matter for the National Financial Ombud, while advice given at the point of sale is a matter for the FAIS Ombud.
