Govender & Son are third-generation funeral directors providing families with dignified and elegant ways to say goodbye to their loved ones that have passed. (Tommy) Govender with his son Lagoo, the family business was soon joined by Tommy’s youngest son, Abbey, who then opened a branch in Umhlatuzana Township. Abbey turned out to be quite a people's person and soon became recognised as the face of the business. He became respected in his area and the reputable business that he ran complemented that. Abbey further expanded his network by being active in social and sporting circles. Then the third generation stepped in and relaunched the business in 1994. Kumar Covenden, Abbey’s son, is driving the business these days accompanied by his triplets, Kian, Uvaan, and Leya, continuing the longevity of the family legacy with the fourth generation. The four generations have seen over 60 years in the business and T.G. Govender and Son is highly regarded in the undertaking circles. Under the leadership of the hard-working Kumar, who has been known to even get behind the wheel of the hearses sometimes, Tommy’s and Abbey's legacy is sure to live on.
