Our commitment

Care, dignity and guidance when it matters most.

As much as we can plan for death, the shock of it cannot be denied. When someone dies, families have to knock on many doors — from Home Affairs, to mortuaries, to florists.

We are here to walk that journey with you, till the end. BlackWood exists to offer meaningful, professional assistance during times of bereavement and grief.

Our story

Serving families since 1961

A family business built on one man’s wish to bring comfort to the bereaved.

1961
BlackWood opens its doors
Founded by Mr J.R. Molotsi out of his yearning to bring comfort to the bereaved by lightening the load of losing a loved one, through quality burial services.
2013
A new generation
After the passing of Mr J.R. Molotsi, the business was taken over by S.J. Molotsi, who credits the late Mr Molotsi with nurturing the vision.
Today
100% black-owned and managed
BlackWood is a 100% black-owned, managed and resourced funeral undertaker and emerging funeral consultancy, serving Alexandra and greater Johannesburg.

“Since inception, we have invested extensively in research and development to develop funeral service offerings that are relevant to the communities we live in. We are working to dispel the myth that quality is linked to price.”
Sanny Jabu Molotsi, Director
