This page explains what to expect from Saffas in general terms and what to check before committing. For exact prices, packages and your nearest branch, confirm directly with the company, as terms change and vary by area.
Who Saffas is
Saffas is a funeral services provider in South Africa. As with most parlours, the core role is conducting the funeral - collecting and caring for the deceased, supplying a coffin, providing the hearse and running the service. Confirm directly which areas they serve, since coverage is branch-based.
Services and cover
Expect the usual parlour services: mortuary care, a coffin range, transport of the deceased, the hearse and family vehicle, and help arranging the grave. Ask Saffas whether they offer tiered packages or a funeral plan, what each includes, 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.
- What any package includes versus extras you would pay for.
- If a plan is offered, the waiting period, exclusions and underwriter.
- A written quote so you can compare with other parlours. Get the arrangement and price in writing before paying.
How to contact Saffas
