Funeral benefits assist with the payment of funeral costs when a member or pensioner passes away. Funeral benefits are also paid out on the death of the spouse, life partner or eligible child of a member or pensioner. Wherever possible, the GPAA tries to pay this benefit within 72 hours of receiving a correctly completed application.

Detailed information regarding funeral benefits is available under the ‘Our benefits’ section of the GEPF website at www.gepf.gov.za..

If you have any questions about your pension benefits, please talk to us. You can either phone GPAA’s toll-free Call Centre on 0800 117 669, or visit your nearest GPAA Walk-in Centre.
