At Thom Kight & Company, we assist families with the important decisions and practical arrangements that come with saying goodbye to loved ones.

Tom Keight founded the company in 1981, earning a reputation for managing every detail with sensitivity and empathy. Today, three generations of his family continue that tradition, with personal supervision at every step to make sure you get the best care during a difficult and often stressful time.

We have years of experience in arranging and overseeing burials, cremations, funerals and memorial services.

We also have expertise in international repatriation worldwide.

Our premises in Vrededorp, Johannesburg, are fully equipped to take care of your loved one with the utmost respect.

We have an on-site mortuary and qualified staff to take care of transporting and handling the deceased. You can call us at any time to transfer the deceased to our premises.

We also have a Chapel of Rest and a full range of in-house services for memorial ceremonies. Taking your beliefs and wishes into consideration, we will help you create a personal, meaningful service for your loved one.

With a wide network of agents across the country and internationally, we can help to make arrangements for you anywhere.

Where we can, we arrange all the required documents for you, including:

• Obtaining a Notification of Death (BI-1663) from the relevant authorities
• Obtaining the death certificate from the Department of Home Affairs
• Obtaining the required documentation for burial or cremation

For international repatriation, we liaise with the relevant embassy or consulate as well as with the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) to obtain the necessary permits.
