Bereaved families fear losing out on funeral covers

This is after government's decision to cover all expenses from the day of the bus accident till the repatriation of the bodies to the country for burial. The families are worried they might not benefit from their funeral policies.

Government has covered the costs of the 45 caskets and food hampers, meaning their individual funeral policy covers, which normally pay the immediate expenses of the funeral such as the casket and groceries might not be needed.
