Hollar Funeral policy through Ackermans

We've had the most horrible experience from Hollard and Ackermans with regards to their funeral policy. My Uncle paid the funeral cover for sometime now and never missed any payments, he passed on the 20th of May and when we put in a claim of which the money was supposed to help bury him, no one cares and assisted us until now. we had to get into more debt and finance his funeral after he made plans to get the cover to help with the burial.

Required documents have been submitted more than once and when you call the Hollard call center no one answers.

This is wrong in everyway and I will make sure I exhaust all avenues to get recourse for this inhuman treatment from Ackermans and Hollard.

Hi Natasha Vos

Today is the 10th day after I posted this complain and our claim is still being assessed. Let alone the fact that we never got any help from Hollard prior to the funera and ended up having to take loans to finance my Uncles funeral. Now the claim gets assessed for over 5 days without any feedback, why is it an issue when you have to pay claims, my Uncle was up to date with his premiums/payments.

Really what will it take to get this resolved or we don't understand your turnaround time for paying funeral claims ?
