A Funeral parlour exposes fake resurrection miracle & plans to sue the South African pastor who claimed to raise a dead man
A South African pastor went viral after allegedly resurrecting a man who had been dead for two days.
But the funeral parlour (mortuary) where the man was allegedly taken from and brought to the Church for prayer, is telling a different story.
In a viral video shared online, a coffin with a man’s body was removed from a Funeral hearse as a crowd of people gather around it. A woman who claims to be the man’s landlord‚ tells the pastor that the man got sick and started coughing on Friday. They took him to the hospital where he apparently died in her arms.
The pastor lays his hands on the man and begins to pray. A few seconds later the man sits up in the coffin with his mouth and eyes wide open.(click here to watch the video).
But an investigative journalist later contacted the Kings and Queens Funerals (the funeral parlour) in charge of the man’s funeral and the owner explained that the entire thing was staged.
According to Sello Tatai, a South African journalist, the owner of the funeral parlour said the popular pastor hired the funeral hearse (ambulance) from them and then bought a casket elsewhere to stage a miracle.
In addition, Undertaker George Dlodlo has denied receiving the “dead body” at his Black Phoenix mortuary in Yeoville, Joburg.
He said:
There was never a dead body in our parlour…There was never a deceased with us, there was never a funeral this weekend. Nothing at all.
“We did not supply the coffin‚ neither did we store the deceased at our mortuary and no paper work was processed by Kings and Queens Funerals.
“As a funeral services provider we do not offer services without documentation‚ neither do we repatriate bodies without any paper work‚” it said in a statement.
The company said it only offered funeral services‚ funeral cover‚ burials and transport.
The funeral service said that it was approached by alleged family members of the “deceased” who informed it that they had encountered a dispute with a different funeral service provider and wanted to use its transport. This explains why the allege dead man was brought to the church using their funeral hearse.
Kings and Queens Funeral Services is considering legal action for “malicious damage” to its image.
