It's not important... until it's too late. Once your family is sitting with a funeral director, the moment to plan has passed — and grieving families left without answers are often vulnerable to manipulation. Start the conversation today 👉 https://t.co/a7L2ESY3fY

When someone dies, their pension doesn't just go to whoever's named on the form — under Section 37C, trustees decide. Know how it works so you can claim what's yours, faster. 👉 https://t.co/UNKbqLjEzh

The first 72 hours after a death — a short checklist to steady you:

✅ Notice of Death + death certificate
✅ Find the will
✅ Don't cancel debit orders yet
✅ List accounts, assets & debts
✅ Report to the Master of the High Court (14 days)

Save this. https://t.co/236fH8dKjg

66% of SA adults still don't have a will (Sanlam, 2025). National Wills Week comes round every September — attorneys draft free basic wills. Be ready: a free LegacyVault Life File puts your documents, policies and wishes in one place. https://t.co/b2t5TiyvbM

Natural burial, biodegradable coffins, lower-impact cremation — green funeral options are growing worldwide, and SA's full urban cemeteries are speeding the shift. Eco-friendly provider? Let families find you: https://t.co/2QxdK8dK1U

@_Afransina_ Whichever one you go with, compare three things before the brand name: the waiting period (often 6–12 months for natural causes), how quickly they actually pay out, and whether premiums escalate every year. Those details matter most on the day your family needs to claim.

@WFCTrust Great to see a football club rallying its community behind hospice care. Events like this also do something quieter but just as valuable - they make talking about end-of-life care feel normal, which so many families put off. Good luck for 4 October!

When a family needs a funeral home, they search online first. In SA's R10-billion funeral industry, tens of thousands of businesses still aren't findable. A free GDN directory listing fixes that in minutes: https://t.co/2QxdK8dK1U

@Help4HDI Resources like this make such a difference. Families dealing with a long illness often put off end-of-life conversations until a crisis — a clear, practical handbook helps them start early, while there's still time to plan calmly together.

[GraceNetworkZA @GraceNetworkZA]

@BAMBAD___ Love that this frames it as community service first, business second. One role worth adding: someone to guide families through the paperwork — certificates, admin, estate matters. That's often where people feel most lost, and a steady hand there matters as much as anything.

[GraceNetworkZA @GraceNetworkZA]

@BAMBAD___ Useful breakdown. Worth noting "zero price sensitivity" often just means families are too overwhelmed to compare — the providers who publish clear prices upfront tend to earn the deepest trust (and the most referrals).

With ~90% of Joburg's cemeteries full, more families are weighing cremation and greener memorial options. Often the hard part is finding who offers what nearby. Search providers in your area, free:

@RJResearch The service-quality driver is the interesting part. Volumes normalise after the pull-forward years, but families now research and compare providers far more deliberately — operators who invest in that experience tend to hold up best across the cycle.

66% of South Africans still don't have a will — and the number drafting one fell again in 2025 (Sanlam Legacy survey). A will is step one. A free Life File records where it's kept, what policies exist, and who to call:

@cgtnafrica Community groups stepping in like this makes a real difference — funeral costs so often land on families at the hardest possible moment. The more openly we talk about planning for these expenses ahead of time, the lighter that burden gets.

[GraceNetworkZA @GraceNetworkZA]

@Funeralsupplies Repatriation is one of those things most families never think about until they're in the middle of it — and it's a lot to navigate while grieving. Clear guides like this make a real difference. Thanks for sharing.

SA's funeral industry is worth R10bn+ — yet it's one of the country's least digitised sectors. Families now search online first. If you run a funeral or death-care business, get found — list free, forever:

@EcoffinsWillow Good to see natural options like this getting more visible. So many families never realise eco-friendly burial is even a choice until someone shows them — the more these alternatives are seen, the easier those conversations become.

[GraceNetworkZA @GraceNetworkZA]

@SJDCemetery The hardest part is almost always just starting the conversation — after that, it tends to flow. Families who talk about their wishes early spare each other so much second-guessing later. Lovely resource to share.
