Moura Funerarium

Moura Funerarium is a commercial funeral establishment located at Petite Rivière, on the west coast of Mauritius. It was created by Eiffel Property, a property development company based at 9C Uniciti Office Park, Rivière Noire Road, Cascavelle. Construction ran from 2017 to 2019. The project is listed as delivered on the Imonga record, with a delivery date given as 2019.

According to the developer Eiffel Property's project page, the site covers 8,442 m² with nine buildings. It brings together functions usually spread across several providers, which is why the place is presented as a single destination for arranging a funeral.

What the site includes

According to Eiffel Property's project page, Moura Funerarium combines the following:

• seven distinct reflection spaces, each seating 80 to 90 people;
• four funeral halls and cafeterias, so a service can be held on site;
• an administration department and a funeral arrangement office, with consultants who guide families through the process;
• a flower shop;
• an operations department with a warehouse, fleet management and a manufacturing workshop;
• staff quarters;
• a mortuary facility.

Faiths and cultures

The developer states that the facility welcomes services from different faiths and cultures, and that its teams understand the funeral and interment customs of several communities. No detail is published on which rites are handled (specific rites, cremation, repatriation, preparation of the deceased). These points should be confirmed with the operator.

Who built it and who runs it

Eiffel Property presents itself as a development, asset management and property management company working on commercial, industrial and residential projects. Its listed portfolio includes Moura Funerarium, Les Muguets in Beau Plan and Bijou Résidence. Its published contact details are (+230) 460 9770 and 9C Uniciti Office Park, Rivière Noire Road, Cascavelle MU, 90522.

Day-to-day operation sits with a separate entity, Moura Funeral Enterprise Co. Ltd, registered for funeral services and related activities. The OpenStreetMap source, in its edition of 27 July 2017, gives this entity the address A1 in the district of Plaines Wilhems; professional directories place it opposite the Petite Rivière police station. The Imonga record does not state the contractual link between Eiffel Property and that company: this needs to be confirmed with the developer.

What is not published

Several details a family or a professional would need do not appear on Eiffel Property's project page or in the sources reviewed:

• pricing for halls, services and the mortuary;
• total capacity beyond the 80 to 90 seats per reflection space;
• opening hours and booking arrangements;
• floor area of each building and its exact use;
• the licensing regime the establishment falls under in Mauritius (funeral licence, health authorisation) and which authority issues it.

For these items, contact Moura Funeral Enterprise Co. Ltd, or Eiffel Property for construction and delivery matters. For any legal question relating to an estate or a funeral services contract, it is advisable to consult a notary or a lawyer in Mauritius.

What the Imonga record does not say

The record holds no photos, no floor plans and no downloadable brochure. No rating is attached to the place. These gaps do not mean the items do not exist, only that they were not filled in on Imonga at the date of the record.
