Q: How do I check on icloud that I have successfully erased content on my iphone 5c?

My screen was smashed on my iphone 5c and I could not operate the phone.  I now require to return the phone to my insurance company as I have received my replacement handset.  The insurance company told me I had to switch off find my phone via icloud, which I have done, but I don't know if all content has been erased, how can I check?

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.3.1

    Using iCloud.com

    Erase your device. To prevent anyone else from accessing the data on your missing device, you can erase it remotely. When you erase your device, all of your information (including credit or debit cards for Apple Pay) will be deleted from the device, and you won't be able to find it using Find My iPhone. After you erase a device, you can't track it. If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.
