Why are people and the media in particular so obsessed about a person dying being poor? The fact is whether you d!e rich or poor. You don't take it into the ground with you. You leave those riches behind and your kids, sisters, brothers and w!fe fight for them.

Brown Dash, RIP broer.

@Shredder..

I agree with your comment, I guess media wants something that will sell, they don't care about the dignity of individual when they are d.e.a.d.

@Shredder
True

@Sowetan it is not a pauper's funeral but indigent....... paupers is when you are buried without your next of kin knowing (both your death and funeral) and you given an unmarked grave.

Indigent, (as the name says poor), the state provide the basics, coffin, grave and hearse....... you family is able to pay their last respects and they get to know your grave. For indigent funeral you apply for it

i'm personally not one for flashy funerals, my in-laws both d'ied and we only when for light meals than this big flashy things as if we are having a wedding or party...suprisingly we didnt even spend more than R20000 in each of their burial. most ppl were complaining about the way we buried them without slaughtering anything, but who normally wake up and eat meat for breakfast at their homes? so like u guys said we bring nothing and leave with nothing, paying 100k for a coffin while u have debts and dependents to take care of doesnt make sense at all.
