The funeral parlour will guide you through each step and handle most of the arrangements.
To proceed with cremation in South Africa, you need a death certificate, a cremation order from the relevant authorities, and written consent from the deceased’s next of kin. The cremation order is usually obtained after a medical practitioner certifies the cause of death. Funeral parlours can assist with obtaining the necessary documentation and permits.

Hi there, this is just a query as I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst outcome if my mother's operation isn't a success. I'm wanting to know what a direct cremation would cost with no funeral or any family members or service, just the cremation? I / my mother doesn't have a funeral cover/policy in place. Also can I choose / buy my own urn for her? How long does the process take? Thank you.
