Specialist Services by Jaco Smith Elite Funeral Group

As the preferred funeral parlour in Bloemfontein, you can rely on Jaco Smith Elite Funeral Group (Pty) Ltd. for specialist funeral services, including repatriation of human remains, the registration of death, bespoke funeral programs and evening funerals.

Repatriation 

Death is always traumatic, especially when we lose a loved one who is far from home. As a leading funeral parlour in Bloemfontein, we handle the challenging task of repatriation of human remains across African borders. We can help arrange for the mortal remains (body or ashes) to be sent to their final resting place, or to bring it home via road or air.

Registration of death

In South Africa, families are required to register the death of their loved ones within five days. We can assist with this service.

Bespoke funeral programs

A funeral is the final opportunity you have to honour your loved one. At Jaco Smith Elite Funeral Group, we believe in providing you with all the flexibility to allow you to reflect their life and individual nature. We will help design and print bespoke funeral programs to provide the order of events of the day as well as special music requests, prayers, scriptures, musical selections, and informal tributes.

Evening funerals

Families often opt for evening funerals as people have to be at work during the day. An evening funeral can be especially beautiful with a unique ambiance that makes these events extra special.

Counselling services

Bereavement counselling, or grief therapy, is helpful after the death of a family member or loved one. Although this is not always necessary, it can help a grieving family member of loved one through the mourning process and with coping and moving forward.

Catering and refreshments

Our services are there to take the pressure away from the family so that they do not have to  deal with catering requirements while grieving. Our catering team will ensure that all arrangements are taken care of for the funeral or memorial service.

Jaco Smith Elite Funeral Group is able to deal directly with the funeral policy underwriter to ensure that funds are available for a dignified funeral when required.
