When I first started my small funeral business, I was scared to order big equipment online. But Meacon made everything so simple. Jené and her team answered every question, sent photos before delivery, and made sure I understood how everything works. The lowering device I bought is still in perfect condition after two years. They treat small businesses with the same respect as big ones. I’m proud to support a local South African company like this.

We run a funeral home in Bloemfontein, and Meacon has been our main supplier for more than five years. Their equipment makes our work easier and helps us look professional in front of families. They are reliable, honest, and their prices are always fair. I will never change to another company.
