A funeral home in Gauteng had to obtain a court order to bury pastor Siva Moodley, whose body was kept at a mortuary for almost two years as his family allegedly believed he would be resurrected. | AlexMitchley

A funeral was held for Moodley on Thursday, and he was buried at Westpark Cemetery in Johannesburg after his death on 14 August 2021.

In the court papers, the funeral home said City of Johannesburg representatives visited the mortuary in December 2022 and indicated that future notices could be issued as they considered Moodley's remains a health risk because, at that point, he had been stored there for more than a year. Brown told News24 the funeral home did not want to infringe on people's religious beliefs, but that they also had to follow the law in terms of health regulations. According to Brown, Martin's Funerals does not discriminate against anyone for any reason and always assists where possible. He, however, added that this was an unusual case.On the day of Moodley's death, a church member instructed the undertaker to attend to the removal of his body at his Randburg home.

"They did not want to become involved to make arrangements for the funeral, however, the consequences regarding environmental health and hazard implications were explained to the first, second and third respondents if a burial was not arranged." In 2013, a baby who died before birth was also"raised to life in a miracle service after Dr Siva prayed for the mother in a coma".
