BUSINESS REPORTER
Old Mutual Zimbabwe on Friday launched a fully-fledged funeral services business in Bulawayo.
This follows a successful launch of the same business in Harare a few weeks ago.
The group has been offering the Flexi Funeral Plan, which was originally set up as a renewable funeral policy that has been paying out a cash benefit to cater for funeral expenses for its members or their dependents.
“Our customers spoke and requested that we offer them an end-to-end full range of funeral services. Accordingly, we have taken this bold move to offer tangible funeral services that are over and above the cash benefit we offer as Old Mutual,” group CEO, Sam Matsekete, said.
He added: “We are delighted to officially announce our response to that call and our continued commitment to serving the Bulawayo market.
“This offering adds to a range of existing financial service products Old Mutual offers in the market. Part of the services the premium brand is offering includes standard funeral services like water bowser, nationwide bus service, and family courtesy vehicles. A family courtesy vehicle that is the first of its kind in the funeral services sector at the disposal of bereaved families for any logistical needs.”
