They vow not to collect corpses from both government and private hospitals as well as homes if government doesn't respond to their demands.They want the outsourcing of mortuary facilities to be recognised and by-laws amended to enable shared storage.

Meanwhile, the SA Funeral Practitioners Association, one of the largest groups of undertakers, says it's against the proposed industrywide strike.
