ABOUT RIXAKA FUNERALS
“Rixaka Funerals is an Authorised Financial Services Provider. We offer the most comprehensive funeral and financial covers in the industry.”
The vision to establish Rixaka Funerals was developed after the death of my late sister Tsakani Thandi Mabunda in December 2002 (may her soul rest in peace!). My sister’s death was the very first death requiring me to be personally involved in making funeral arrangements. The service our family received from the burial society responsible for my sister’s funeral left much to be desired. For instance, the delegation which went to consult the burial society about my sister’s funeral arrangements was big. Unfortunately, most of us were standing throughout the consultation as there were not enough chairs in the office. Also, there was no privacy during the consultation as the discussions were held in an open space. This experience disturbed me a lot and planted the seed to establish a burial society that would treat people in a more humane and dignified manner. This dream came to fruition in 2007 when Rixaka Funerals was born..
The vision to establish Rixaka Funerals as a funeral services provider that would treat people in a more humane and dignified manner informed the decision to design Rixaka Funerals’ consulting rooms like sitting rooms with cosy lounge suites to accommodate bereaved families comfortably. Rixaka Funerals also took a deliberate decision from the beginning not to use coffins, but to use caskets only for all funerals conducted by us, irrespective of the status of the deceased or their economic standing. Our position to use caskets only has resulted in incorrect perceptions by the general public that the burial services of Rixaka Funerals are expensive and are not suitable for everybody. Most people think that it is expensive to conduct a dignified and respectful funeral. This is not true at all. Anyone can afford; and in fact, everyone deserves to honour their departed loved ones by sending them off in a dignified and respectful manner.
I thank God for making my dreams come true. Rixaka Funerals turns 16 years on the 19th of September 2023. I am very proud of Rixaka Funerals’ achievements in that it has grown very fast to become the giant it is in a very short space of time. Young as it is, Rixaka Funerals consistently fulfils its mission to offer bereaved family’s peace of mind by providing dignified and respectful one stop funeral and financial services that allow bereaved families the space to mourn their loved ones without the burden of organizing funerals and memorials.
My personal commitment remains that Rixaka Funerals will continue to render dignified and respectful funeral and financial services to the communities we serve, irrespective of the status and economic standing of such communities. Rixaka Funerals is not just a business, it fulfils an essential service that is a part of life, requiring compassion, understanding and considerateness. We are one…
Let’s assist each other!
