This study explores the potential of cremation as a land-conserving alternative to traditional cemeteries in Africa. Using a mixed-methods approach, we examine the environmental, cultural, and social implications of adopting cremation highlighting its potential to reduce land use, energy consumption, and environmental impact. Our findings suggest that cremation can reduce land use, energy consumption, and environmental impact. The research explores the intersection of death care, sustainability, and cultural heritage, providing insights into the benefits and challenges of cremation in the African context. In the evolving landscape of environmental challenges, the imperative for sustainable practices has never been more pressing. This abstract encapsulates the pivotal role of ‘Sustainable Death Care in Africa’, a concept that seeks to harmonize human growth with ecological preservation. We have been actively engaged in this transformative journey, demonstrating innovative strategies and collaborative efforts that embody the spirit of sustainability in Zimbabwe. We conclude that cremation is a viable option for sustainable death care in Africa, and discuss the implications for policymakers, urban planners, and death care professionals. Together, we can facilitate the eternal evolution necessary for a harmonious and sustainable future.
