The Association of Kenya Insurers (AKI) has launched a campaign to raise the uptake of funeral insurance. This is after a study on challenges families face while planning for funerals showed that only three per cent of Kenyans had taken out the cover.
The survey conducted in five counties also indicated that the cost of funerals is on the increase, with a feeling they were being commercialised.
“The research commissioned by AKI showed that funeral expenses cost between Sh50,000 and Sh300,000,” said AKI Executive Director Tom Gichuhi.
