Serima Funeral Logistics, a unique and rural-based funeral service provider established in the heart of Serima area in Gutu to offer affordable services to the rural folk in Serima and Gutu District at large is set to bring relief.
The funeral service provider is a brainchild of Gutu’s ward 5 Councillor, Daniel Mutunzi and was established in March 2023 to reduce the challenges faced by mourners before burying their loved ones.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mutunzi said he witnessed the challenges faced by the community during funerals and thought of establishing the service company which he said will offer a wide range of funeral-related services and expressed hopes for expansion from the area to the whole district.
“The funeral cover offers a range of services including financial assistance for travel, utensils for food preparation and storage, tools, cement for grave construction and coffins.
“The organization is currently only serving the Serima area but we have plans to expand to surrounding areas by 2025 and become a leading funeral service provider not only in Gutu,” said Mutunzi.
He said he was running the organization with his peers Alex Chakona, Munyaradzi Chipoterwa and Tonhorai Mutsau and said more than 200 people had already subscribed to the service provider.
“The programme has attracted over 200 members, who are required to pay a US$20 registration fee and US$3 monthly subscriptions.
“Serima Funeral Logistic is poised to make a significant impact in the community, bringing relief and support to those in need,” said Mutunzi.
