For Dignity & Support
Run Your Society with Dignity, Not Disputes.
The hardest part of being a Treasurer is telling a grieving family “No.” Let Zeturi track the Waiting Periods and Arrears so the rules stay fair for everyone.
Stop Fighting Over Claims
Paper records create confusion when emotions are high. You need a system that remembers the rules.
“I thought my uncle’s waiting period was over?” Arguments at the funeral.
No record of arrears — committee approves a claim that should be rejected.
Funds paid out verbally, no audit trail when members question the balance.
Waiting period tracked from enrolment — the system flags claims submitted too early.
Arrears are checked before any claim is approved.
Every payout is logged and visible to the full committee.
Zeturi vs the Notebook
When emotions are high, the rules need to be written down where everyone can check them.
A Policy Administration System
The tools a Treasurer actually needs when a claim comes in.
Secure Claims Workflow
Stop releasing cash based on a phone call. Before any claim is approved, Zeturi checks the waiting period, verifies arrears, and records the committee’s decision — before a single rand leaves the fund.
Smart Arrears Tracking
The system checks payment history before you approve a claim. If a member is 3 months behind, the dashboard warns you instantly.
Dependant Management
Track exactly who is covered — Spouse, Children, Extended Family. No more surprise claims at payout time.
Premium Tracking
Set flat, per-person, or age-based premiums. The system tracks who is paid up, who is behind, and calculates arrears automatically.
Reserve Fund Status
See your reserve fund balance in real time. Set target months of coverage and track progress toward a healthy buffer.

Burial Society Questions, Answered
What is a burial society?
A burial society is a South African mutual-aid scheme where members contribute monthly so the group can pay out an agreed amount when a member or their dependant dies. It helps families cover funeral costs quickly.
Does Zeturi pay out claims?
No. Zeturi is a bookkeeper, not a bank. It records claims, premiums, and waiting periods, but your society keeps its own bank account and pays families directly.
How much does it cost to run a burial society on Zeturi?
Setting up is free. Burial societies run on the Standard plan from R 249 per month per scheme, paid from the society's funds. You can try the free premium calculator and constitution generator first.
