Service 02 — Cremations
A dignified cremation, and a
farewell shaped around your family.
In Cape Town and across the Western Cape, cremation is an affordable and space-saving way to honour your loved one. The City encourages families to consider cremation when it aligns with their beliefs, as it helps preserve limited burial space. We provide respectful cremations with flexible memorial options and ash-scattering ceremonies, ensuring every family can personalise the farewell.
Why families choose cremation
Four reasons it may suit your family.
Eases pressure on land
Helps alleviate Cape Town’s shortage of burial space.
Flexible memorials
Schedule the service at a time that suits your family, near or far.
Portable and shareable
Suited to families who travel or have loved ones living abroad.

Eco-friendly & affordable
Cremation is generally more cost-effective than a full burial and helps address Cape Town’s shortage of burial plots. We also offer eco-friendly urns and recommend simple wooden coffins without metal or chemical glues for any service.
