“Thank you to the wonderful dancers who kept everyone entertained. We would also like to thank our loyal members, without whom our service in Phalaborwa will not be possible, and finally, our treasured employees for their hard work and dedication.”

‘Our promise is our pride’
Wisani Burial Society was established in 1995, operating from a small office in Trichardtsdal. As their client base grew, they saw the need to expand further into Limpopo, starting with Tzaneen and then moving to Soekmekaar and Giyani and finally, in 2006, to Phalaborwa. The building was small and intimate, exactly what they needed at the time. “We worked on building a strong relationship with the community over the years following the establishment of our brand in Phalaborwa.”

This led to continuous growth and after 17 years of loyal support from the Phalaborwa community, it was time to give back by building a brand new, modern office building with a mortuary, where our families can experience a dignified, top-quality service. This new building offers a spacious open-plan reception area, two private arrangement offices, two view rooms with a comfortable waiting area, a large showroom featuring the Halston Range, only available at Wisani and NLA, among other beautiful caskets and tombstones, and finally, our state-of-the-art mortuary.

Members and new customers are invited to visit the new office in Phalaborwa on Leyds Street.
