Kyambogo university burial policy

Abstract

The University has been meeting burial expenses for both employees and students. It also covers burial expenses for employees' spouses and children under 18 years of age. The Special Council Meeting, which was held on 8th June 2016, noted that much as the bereaved families appreciated the University's contribution towards the burial of the deceased employees, some of the items provided, such as means of transport in the form of pick-ups, did not project a good image of the University. Members accordingly decided that Management should initiate a review of the burial policy to take into account the proposal to hire funeral services to manage burial arrangements, including the transportation of the body. In view of the above, Kyambogo University management has formulated a policy to manage the burial arrangements, including transportation of the body, in order to accord a decent burial to the employees.
