At K.O Funerals, our Traditional Burial service honours timeless customs and rituals while providing families with a respectful and structured farewell for their loved one. This option reflects cultural and spiritual practices observed across many South African communities, offering a dignified final resting place with meaningful ceremonial elements.
Services Overview
The Traditional Burial includes a graveside funeral held at a cemetery, often preceded by a service at the family home, place of worship, or funeral chapel. This ceremony allows friends, family, and community members to gather, reflect, and pay their last respects in a culturally sensitive and respectful environment.
What’s Included:
- Coffin/Casket of Choice: Select from a variety of quality coffins or caskets(depending on the burial plan you have) to suit your needs and preferences (¼ view, ½ view, or polished dome).
- Hearse & Family Car: Procession from the home or service venue to the burial site.
- Body Preparation: Includes cleansing, dressing, grooming, and, if required, embalming.
