The Claims Process

Losing a loved one is never easy. We, at TBFS, see ourselves as the helping hand of compassion to see you through a "difficult time". We provide reassurance when you need it most.

The following minimum documentation is necessary for us to proceed with the assessment of a claim. Further documentation may be required in order to finalise a claim:

• A Fully completed claim form
• A certified copy of Claimant's ID
• A certified copy of Deceased’s ID
• A certified copy of Death Certificate

• A certified Copy of the BI1663/DHA1663 document (obtainable from the undertaker or from the doctor who certified the death)
• Proof of Parentage (In the event of death of a child)
