Mobeni Heights Crematorium gets new furnace
The eThekwini Municipality has assured the public that a new furnace at the Mobeni Heights Crematorium in Chatsworth, south of Durban, will be up and running soon.
The new state of the art cremator, manufactured in the United States, has cost the municipality approximately R3.5 million.
The crematorium functioned with just one furnace since 2017, forcing families to find other facilities to cremate their loved ones.
