In South Africa, it is estimated that more than any other community organization, adults belong to burial societies: informal funeral insurance groups made up relatives, neighbors and colleagues. Burial Society chronicles Itekeng Women's Club - an all-female burial society operating in a high-mortality and poverty-stricken province - as its members attempt to remain resilient and unified in the face of inevitable loss.
