Funerals of youngters have become party bashes, as opposed to the way of mourning and paying respects to the deceased in a solemn manner.
Recently, a picture of a funeral parlour serving alcohol at a graveyard has been making the rounds, triggering a debate on social media.
Dr Nikiwe Bam, a Cultural Activist, Pastor Unathi Nkomfa, a life coach and author, and Dominic Lenong, spokesperson for SA Funeral Practitioners Association discussed this subject with eNCA.
