AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, B3 Funerals is facing significant customer dissatisfaction, with a recurring theme centred on the transition between underwriters such as Clientele and RMA Life. Customers consistently mention duplicate debit orders, unexplained policy lapses, and poor communication regarding underwriter changes. Many long-standing policyholders express frustration over unresponsive call centres, ignored emails, and agents unable to resolve claims or billing disputes. A common concern is delayed claim payouts during bereavement, leaving families without promised support. Loyalty spanning many years appears unrewarded, eroding trust in the brand.

POOR SERVICE EVER AND I REGRET SIGNING THE SERVICE WITH THEM
This company need to train their staff about customer service and telephone etiquette, their call center service is the worst, you need to speak Isizulu for you to be assistant. I visited the Polokwane Branch and I even regret ever going there. PLEASE TRAIN YOUR STAFF ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE

*********** and inconsiderate service prov8
I know no one will actually respond to this because B3 has lost its purpose which is to assist its clients with dignity. I went through all the complaints and everyone is complaining about the same thing actually,the change of underwriters ( Clientele story) You will call around and still not get any help, you will visit their offices and still get *********** people that will also not assist. Now I made a decision to go to another funeral Palour but I hope you assist millions of people should anything happen to them.

Extremely Poor Service & Double Debits
My mother has been a client since 2010 but the service we are receiving now is unacceptable. Since B3 partnered with Clientele, her account has been debited twice every month by both companies. We have tried resolving this multiple times, but we are being sent from pillar to post — Clientele says speak to B3, and B3 says speak to Clientele. Calls to B3 result in being on hold for over an hour, agents are unable to assist, and no manager is available to resolve the issue. Clientele requires a letter from B3 to reverse the debit, but B3 is not responding to calls or emails. This is extremely frustrating and disappointing, especially for a funeral policy. We need urgent resolution
