Doves Scottburgh | Also specializing with funeral arrangements

Doves Group was established in 1883 as a funeral directing organisation in Durban initially named Doves Funeral Services. Doves Group emerged in 1959 when Homes Trust Funeral Services, through a series of acquisitions, acquired industry respected funeral directing companies such as Goodall and Williams, Doves, Doves and Adlam Reid and Jones and Rice. During the 70s, Saffas also became part of Homes Trust Funeral Services. In 1989, the senior management team purchased the company from Metropolitan Life and changed its name to HT Group. HT Group established its own insurance company, HTG Life in 1993 (now known as Union Life). The name was subsequently changed to Doves Group in 2004. NIC acquired 100% shareholding in Doves Group
