About Us

The South African Cemeteries Association (SACA) is a non-profit organisation registered with the department of Social Development. SACA plays a pivotal role in entrenching the goals/objectives of making South Africa a dynamic world class country.  We therefore encourage municipalities,  organisations and institutions to support and partner with our initiatives which are driven by sustainable development principles to achieve the  goals of a better South Africa.

SACA is administered and managed by municipal officials. SACA is seeking to align with you in the provision of professional, value added services. This will add greater value and assist you in providing an interment service that is guided by best practices. We urge you to consider obtaining an individual/municipal membership.
