dc.description.abstractThe traditional burial methods currently used in South Africa do not promote environmental sustainability. Yet, globally, some cities have begun to use the green burial method to address some of the concerns regarding the environmental risks. The green burial method goes a long way in contributing towards the preservation of the natural systems for future generations. This research report sought to investigate the extent to which the green burials concept would be supported in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality (CTMM). Using a qualitative method, employing interviewsfor primary data collection, this research found that the green burial method receives overwhelming support from the CTMM functionaries, particularly for environmental sustainability. This research recommends that the CTMM engage communities about the green burial method, with a view to enabling the rolling out of the implementation of the green burial method in the near future
