Due to frequent electricity blackouts, South Africa is grappling with significant challenges, and small or large funeral parlours are not exempt from the impact.
Loadshedding, or scheduled power outages, has proven catastrophic for the funeral industry, exacerbating existing challenges. To maintain cold rooms, funeral parlours must contend with rising electricity and diesel costs. Leon Matshiza, founder of Ndoda Funeral Services in Johannesburg, notes the increased reliance on embalming services due to extended blackouts, further adding to the financial burden.
Amidst these challenges, EasiPol is a reliable partner for funeral parlours and administrators. It offers web-based membership management software tailored to the funeral industry’s specific needs. EasiPol provides a comprehensive and secure administration and payment solution accessible via multiple platforms. It is committed to preventing theft and fraud while streamlining funeral parlour business operations.
