Icebolethu can offer

Icebolethu offers a host of funeral and funeral-related services to ensure that all people have a dignified funeral that does not place unnecessary burdens on those left behind. They offer highly specialized funeral cover in South Africa, SADC citizens living in the UK, and SADC citizens living and working in South Africa.

They also offer funeral parlour services, professional funeral catering services, and tombstones and tombstone services via their funeral top-up services. Their funeral plans and funeral parlour, tombstones, and catering services all work together to provide you and your family with all the services and support that you would need during a difficult time.

Serving the community since 2015

The Icebolethu Foundation has been serving the community since 2015 through investments in education, care for vulnerable children and orphans, and support for the elderly.

Their back-to-school campaign helped provide children with basic school supplies like shoes, school uniforms, and lunch bags. Another great initiative is their Rhoda Girls program which was launched in 2017 and committed to mentoring 50 girls for a period of 5 years.

They’ve also built homes for people in dire need through their home building initiative in the Kwazulu-Natal area and donated water tanks to crop farmers in need. In partnership with Africa Unity Life, Icebolethu started building four more homes for the underprivileged and looks forward to continuing their work in the future.

Icebolethu offers four main funeral cover plans to meet your and your family’s specific needs and budget.

All four plans offer the following: collection of the deceased, storage of body, washing and body preparation, registration of death assistance, coffin spray, funeral programs, enlarged photo, hearse, family gazebo, grave gazebo, covered chairs, pastures/green carpet, lowering device, and still water for the family.
