The City of Ekurhuleni’s cemeteries are approaching full capacity for new burials, with just 30 per cent of the vacant burial space remaining across the City.
This is according to metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
He said residents are encouraged to consider other options to save burial space, such as second and third interment in accordance with the City’s Cemetery and Crematorium bylaws.
“The by-laws make provision for multiple interments in one grave on condition that an application has been made to the cemetery officer and written permission has been granted,” said Gadebe.
