Goodwill Funeral Services Managing Director, Anderson Green Mankhusu  said then newly opened funeral home,  with a fully equipped mortuary, gives NICO Life and MASM members confidence that in the three companies  they have trully committed partners in funeral management.

He added that this is the first of several funeral homes that will be opened in the country.

NICO Life Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Eric Chapola, reiterated Mr Mankhusu`s sentiments, adding that NICO Life is prepared to continuously serve its members very well.

“It is often perceived as a taboo to get funeral cover for you or your loved ones. People often see it as ‘preparing for one’s death’. And that is, to a certain extent, what funeral cover is. We want to make sure that you do not shoulder a further burden when a beloved one dies. We are prepared to ease the pressure,” Chapola said.

MASM CEO, Sydney Chikoti, further encouraged people to join the existing scheme and make use of the home.

“The opening of this funeral home further cements not only the partnership that we have as companies, but also out commitment to provide satisfactory services to our members.
