Who Pyramid Funeral Parlour is
Pyramid Funeral Parlour is a funeral services provider in South Africa. As with most parlours, their core role is to handle the funeral itself - collecting and caring for the deceased, supplying a coffin, providing the hearse and conducting the service. Confirm directly which areas they serve, since coverage is branch-based.
Services they offer
Expect the standard parlour services: mortuary care, a range of coffins, transport of the deceased, the hearse and family vehicle, and help arranging the grave or cremation. Some parlours also offer packages and a funeral plan - ask Pyramid what they include and whether any cover is underwritten by a licensed insurer.
What to check before you pay
- Whether they can collect and bury in the town you need.
- Exactly what any package includes versus extras you would pay for.
- If a plan is offered, the waiting period, exclusions and the underwriter.
- A written quote so you can compare with other parlours. Never pay before you have the arrangement and price in writing.
