Cancellation of Weekend Cremations-Avalon Crematorium, Lenasia

This has been approved up to recently.Why the hassle now?Totally unacceptable.Rethink please

What is the practicality of this decision? For Of tradition , Usage, convenience etc how can a decision like this be made. Can we in the same light impose those rules on burials and hence close churches ?

Shocking

The duty to cremate your loved ones is a basic right. The time to perform this duty and exercise this right should in no way be restricted or prescribed by the government or anyone else.

Stop discrimination. This is absurd action when country is short if burial space. Govt must encourage cremation as better environmental option‼️

Cremation everyday we have that right

I cannot plan which day to die.l at least require the respect to be buried as soon after my death.

Our religion requires cremation as soon as possible.

Petition against the cancelling of cremations on weekends and public holidays including stipulating scheduled times. We should be allowed to cremate our dead any day and any time like all South Africans are allowed to. To not allow this is discrimination against our religion and beliefs.

Are they only stopping cremations or also the 100 or so burials that take place on weekend aswell? If the government cannot continue with creations the service should be privatised.

Yes there should be a cancellation of funerals during weekends.

Petition against cancelling and not allowing cremations on weekends and public holidays including the stipulation of scheduled times. It is discrimination to not allow us to cremate our dead according to our religion.

It's shocking to hear what this government is up to. We must stand together.

This is impacting our religious rights. I just Privatise the service.

This is inconvenient to family members of the deceased,people will have to take leave from their respective work places to attend a funeral not good for the employer's n employees on weekdays

Against my Religious Rights & civil rights

Religious considerations must be taken into consideration for such an important event as the cremation of loved ones

Objection to cancellation of cremations over public holidays and weekends

Should we only die at those times that we are allowed to be cremated. This is very unfair.
