Cancellation of Weekend Cremations-Avalon Crematorium, Lenasia

This is not right. Freedom is not limited to weekdays.

My freedom of religion is being attacked by an ignoramus

Must have cremation on weekends

Totally absurd

If you able to bury your love one on the weekend what gives you the right to cancel our burial /cremation?

As we all die And we dont know the Day so it Is your right to have creamotorium anyday

Crematorium must be open and available every day of the week. 365 days of the year.

The powers that be have absolutely no clue of other religious customs and culture.

Please respect all cultures and the significance of their traditions

South Africa is a unique country with a wide spectrum of races and cultures. It is important for all South Africans to have tolerance, respect and understanding for cultures and beliefs different to their own.

Unacceptable. Our culture requires immediate burial or cremation. Death does not choose day of the week.

This is a racism

This is just wrong as now they want to dictate as to when we must do funerals. Clearly this violates our freedom

Council keeps finding need to collect extra money but fails to use it judicialy and efficiently. The rights, customs and religious rights of the minority is once again being trampled upon. Forgetting that it's the minority that put them in power

I think it is against our constitutional rights not to allow cremations on certain days, as this now dictates when a funeral can be held.

Is it a money issue like every thing else with in this country,

Thanks

This is a blatant disregard of; and an impediment to, my right to the freedom to practice my religion.

Please respect the departed souls

The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the Constitution of South Africa. Chapter 2 of the Constitution of South Africa, containing the Bill of Rights, states that everyone has the right to freedom of religion, belief and opinion. Section 9, the equality clause, prohibits unfair discrimination on various grounds including religion.[6] Section 15 allows religious observances in state and state-aided institutions, provided they follow public authority rules, they are conducted on an equitable basis and attendance is free and voluntary, and also provides for the recognition of religious legal systems and marriages that are not inconsistent with the Constitution.[7] Section 31 protects the right of persons belonging to a religious community to practise their religion together with other members of that community and form voluntary religious associations
