No funeral policy payout

I have a funeral policy that I have sent a claim for, 2 weeks ago and when I call the call center, they keep on telling me that they are still busy with it. I had to borrow money to bury my mother that I had covered. And I haven't received the payout till today. This is the worst customer service, I don't even know if I will ever get this money at this point. Funeral policy payout should take more than 2 weeks.

Reviewer Update
For the past 2 weeks I have been told that I am being referred from pillar to post with no help. I regret having a funeral policy with you. When I took the policy I was not told that having a funeral policy where my mother also had policies was going to be an issue. I am now in debts as I had to bury my mother with a loan yet I have been paying my premiums for years.
