Funeral parlours in South Africa typically offer a range of services for cremation, including transportation of the deceased, obtaining necessary documentation and permits, arranging the cremation itself, and providing options for memorial services. They may also offer various urns, keepsakes, and assistance with the scattering or interment of ashes.
Arranging a cremation through a funeral parlour typically involves the following steps: contacting the funeral parlour, providing the deceased’s personal information, obtaining a death certificate, securing a cremation order, selecting an urn or container, and planning any memorial services. 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.
The cost of cremation in South Africa can vary depending on factors such as the location, the type of cremation service (e.g., direct cremation, memorial service), and additional services like urns, memorialization, and transportation. On average, cremation costs range from R5,000 to R15,000.
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.
