Funeral parlours have now adopted the use of solar energy and generators as well as approved chemicals to preserve bodies amid prolonged power cuts.
Doves Funeral Group spokesperson Innocent Tshuma told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200006695/funeral-parlours-switch-to-alternative-power-to-stay-in-business">NewsDay</a> that being in the industry for a long time has enabled the company to transition from relying on electricity to the adoption of alternative power sources. Said Tshuma:
<blockquote>
Being in existence for over 120 years has allowed us to prepare adequately to provide for unparalleled seamless service in our industry.
The preparation allows us to operate in any given environment as we have alternative redundancy power sources such as solar and generators in our wide branch network.
We have also adopted the use of chemicals that preserve bodies for a longer time. 
Our state of the art mortuaries allow us to have the country’s largest holding capacity combined with the best industry practices.
Our agile and committed work force use appropriate and approved chemicals which increase preservation.
In turn this provides peace of mind to our clients that are assured that they will get a dignified send off to their loved ones.
</blockquote>
Prolonged power outages in the country have affected most businesses including funeral parlours and hospital mortuaries.

Power Cuts Force Funeral Parlours To Switch To Alternative Power

Some employees at Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital in Mutare are reportedly touting the services of a private funeral parlour, Sojourner Funeral Parlour, to bereaved families.
The staff members involved in the scam are reportedly being paid an average of US$50 whenever they hand over corpses to the private funeral parlour of people who would have died while admitted to the hospital.
Bereaved families without funeral policies are allegedly told that the hospital’s mortuary is not working and then forced to engage Sojourner’ss services.
In some cases, the bodies of people who die while in admission are handed over to the funeral parlour without the consent of the deceased person’s relatives.
The deceased’s relatives would be told to negotiate the price for burial services with Sojourner.
Tongai Nongerai, an employee of the Ministry of Health and Child Care at the mortuary wing, is reportedly attached to Sojourner Funeral Parlour.
He divulged to The Manica Post that taking the body to their rented Doves mortuary would cost US$50.
Nongerai also said the cheapest charge for all the funeral services was US$300.
But Doves Funeral Services spokesperson, Innocent Tshuma, told the publication that his company had nothing to do with Sojourner Funeral Parlour. He said:
<blockquote>
We do not rent out our mortuaries to anyone. We are also aware of those funeral parlours that have their vehicles parked just outside hospitals as they wait for bodies.
</blockquote>
Sojourner Funeral Parlour owner, Tafadzwa Mukwati, admitted that Nongerai works for the company on a part-time basis. Said Mukwati:
<blockquote>
While Mr Nongerai is employed by Government through the Ministry of Health and Child Care, he also serves us on a part-time basis and there is nothing wrong with that.
</blockquote>
On 19 February, a bereaved family from Gwese Village, Mutare, discovered that the body of their deceased relative was not in the Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital mortuary when they came to collect it. Said a relative who spoke on condition of anonymity:
<blockquote>
We left the hospital to get some medication that was prescribed for our niece who was admitted to the hospital. Upon our return, we were informed that she had passed on.
What disturbed us the most is that the body of the deceased was not in the hospital ward or the mortuary.
Instead, it had already been placed in the Sojourner Funeral Parlour vehicle.
We were not happy about it and we had a heated argument with the authorities over the issue.
</blockquote>
Mukwati described the incident as a minor misunderstanding and insisted that his company’s operations are lawful.
Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital Medical Superintendent, Dr Dorcas Masanga-Mutede did not respond to questions sent to her, The Manica Post reported.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that a committee has been established to investigate the issue after Manicaland Provincial Medical Director, Dr Simon Nyadundu intervened.

Hospital Staff, Private Funeral Parlour In 'Unholy Alliance'

Doves has been threatened with legal action by the family of the late Brian Chimwamurombe, who was reportedly buried in a “mass grave” at Granville cemetery (Ku Mbudzi) by the funeral parlour after it presented his family with a coffin without a corpse for burial.
In a letter dated 26 October 2021 addressed to Doves Holdings Zimbabwe and copied to the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission, Insurance and Pensions Commission and Zimbabwe Council of Chiefs, the family of the late Chimwamurombe, through their lawyers Chimwamurombe Legal Practice, demanded that the funeral parlour accepts that it made a grave error and take corrective action. The letter reads:
<blockquote>
RE: MISREPRESENTATION OF BURIAL OF THE LATE MAXWELL CHIMWAMUROMBE
We refer to the above and we represent Brian Chimwamurombe and his family. Please note our legal interests.
We wish to draw your attention to the fact that your high-powered delegation which included 2 Directors, The Human Resources Executive, the Group Public Relations Manager and the Chaplin approached our office creating a perception of acknowledging your organisation’s negligent, injurious and criminal conduct.
Our clients availed themselves all the way from the rural areas in Avilla and Kanyimo, Nyanga, with the conciliation expectation of a repentant and sympathetic organisation. We cannot say that was achieved.
Your delegation blew hot and cold when asked by our Mr Gombiro whether they accepted the facts amounting to your criminal, negligent and injurious conduct.
For the sake of completeness, we will revisit the facts as we contend as follows:
<ol>
<li>Your organisation presented our clients with a coffin without a corpse for burial.</li>
<li>Your organisation realised 3 days after the burial that the body was still in the mortuary.</li>
<li>Your organisation kept quiet about the body it had from March 2021 to August 2021 (approximately 6 months)</li>
<li>Your organisation in a completely bizarre and potently callous and criminal manner proceeded to conceal evidence by burying our client’s relative without their knowledge and consent with a pauper at Granville cemetery (Ku Mbudzi)</li>
<li>In a more shocking and completely unheard-of move, the burial was a ‘mass grave’ type of burial. We are advised that our client’s relative was either buried in the same coffin with the pauper or buried in the same grave. All circumstances the burial being utterly disrespectful and demeaning the Chimwamurombe family. One cannot rule out ritualism.</li>
</ol>
Your high-powered delegation only accepted the fact that ‘something was wrong’ but not any specific fact. We find that insulting.
As you might be aware, you have reopened the funeral to our client and a swift resolution of the matter will be greatly appreciated.
Our client reserves the right to sue for damages caused by the pain and suffering occasioned by this act. By copy of this letter, we also bring this matter to the attention of the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission, Insurance and Pensions Commission and Zimbabwe Council of Chiefs for investigation.

Doves Gives Nyanga Family Coffin Without A Corpse For Burial

Doves Funeral Services has denied reports that they had to recall workers to come and make coffins early this month as they struggled to cope with dead bodies.
The report which had been reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-24/in-zimbabwe-coronavirus-sick-told-to-buy-their-own-ventilators">Bloomberg</a> said Doves’ General Manager for Operations Mr. Matsika spoke to the publication and said they thought their coffin stocks would last till April but they ran out of stock in January.
In a telephone conversation with Pindula, Doves Public Relations Manager Mr. Innocent Tshuma said Mr. Matsika never spoke to Bloomberg and such an interview never occurred.
Mr. Tshuma could not however reveal if it is true that the funeral home is now holding 21 services per day at their offices in Harare signifying a surge in burials per day.

RETRACTION: Doves Did Not Recall Workers From Their Christmas Holidays

Hundreds of people gathered at a Doves Parlour along Kwame Nkrumah Street in central Harare on Friday for a funeral service for the late socialite Genius Kadungure, better known as Ginimbi.
A Vintage Rolls Royce hearse was provided to ferry Ginimbi’s body to Domboshava where he will be buried.
The proceedings at Ginimbi’s funeral service were led by Lieutenant Chari of the Salvation Army.
From Doves, Ginimbi’s body was taken to Dreams Night Club, an entertainment joint he owned, before being taken to Domboshava.

WATCH: Humongous Crowd At Doves Parlour For Ginimbi Funeral Service

The burial of a teenage girl was abandoned in bizarre scenes on Wednesday after members of an Apostolic church sect (Mapositori) insisted that she was alive, ZimLive.com reports.
The 16-year-old Form 4 pupil, identified as Daphne, was attending Kwayedza High School in Highfield.
She reportedly died suddenly on Sunday after complaining of a headache and was supposed to be laid to rest at the Granville (Mbudzi) Cemetery in Harare.
Video footage shows a crowd mobbing a Doves hearse, and her coffin being pulled halfway out of the hearse and being opened to reveal the lifeless body of a young girl.
Members of an apostolic sect then ordered the gathered crowd to stop recording them as they went about some rituals trying to revive the girl, which were not successful.
The hearse was driven back to Highfield through Machipisa Police Station with a group of “prophets” trying to revive the girl.
