Common questions
- How much does a funeral cost in Western Cape?
- National research puts basic funerals at R10,000–R15,000, traditional burials at R20,000–R40,000 and cremations at R6,000–R10,000. Ask parlours for itemised quotes - prices for the same funeral vary substantially between providers.
- How do I choose between funeral parlours in Western Cape?
- Phone two or three, ask each for an itemised written quote (collection, storage, coffin, transport, paperwork), and compare totals rather than package names. Check ratings, and if they sell funeral policies, verify their FSP licence with the FSCA first.
- What must happen before a burial can go ahead?
- The death must be certified by a doctor and registered with Home Affairs, which issues a burial order. Almost all parlours handle this paperwork as part of their package - confirm it's included.
Thinking about a policy?
Many parlours sell their own funeral plans. Before you sign anything - here or elsewhere - it's worth understanding waiting periods, cash vs service benefits, and the FSCA licence check that protects you from schemes that never pay.
