Who It's For

One platform, two organisations

Burial Desk is purpose-built for both kinds of funeral organisations in South Africa.

Burial Societies

Community groups where members pool contributions to cover funeral costs for their families. You know your members personally.

  • Track monthly contributions & overdue members
  • Schedule meetings with QR attendance
  • Process claims for members & beneficiaries
  • Manage fines, good standing, and roles
  • Push notifications & announcements

How It Works

Up and running in minutes

No technical knowledge required. Choose the path that matches your organisation.

Burial Society
01

Register Your Society

Create an account and enter your society's details. Your admin dashboard is ready in under 2 minutes.

02

Invite Your Members

Send invite links via WhatsApp or SMS. Members join instantly and manage their own profiles.

03

Manage Everything

Record contributions, run meetings, process claims, and generate reports — your whole society in one app.

Funeral Company
01

Register & Get Approved

Submit your FSCA licence number and company details. Our team verifies and approves your account, typically within 1–2 business days.

02

Create Policy Plans

Define your product suite — cover amounts, premiums, waiting periods, grace windows, and covered life premiums.

03

Policyholders Self-Enroll

Members browse plans, add dependants, authorize debit orders, and get covered — without calling your office.

Why You'll Love It

Built for the way
you actually operate.

Not a generic SaaS tool. Burial Desk understands South African funeral organisations — the terminology, the workflows, the compliance requirements.

Full audit trail

Every transaction, approval, and status change is logged. No disputes, no confusion.

FSCA-aware compliance

Waiting periods, KYC verification, and claim eligibility checks are baked into the platform — not bolted on.

Role-based access

Admins configure. Agents operate. Members self-serve. Each role sees exactly what they need.

Mobile-first, works offline

Android and iOS. Rural areas with poor connectivity? The app still works and syncs when connected.

Pricing

Simple, fair pricing

No hidden fees. No per-transaction cuts. One flat monthly fee for your whole society — or a custom plan for your company.
