Free State Cemeteries Are Facing Rising Vandalism & Theft — Here’s How Families Are Protecting Their Loved Ones

Across the Free State — from Bloemfontein to Welkom, Botshabelo to Thaba Nchu — families are dealing with a heartbreaking reality: graves are being vandalised, tampered with, and even targeted for casket theft.

Cemetery crime is rising, especially in rural and poorly monitored areas. FredVault™ provides South Africa’s only engineered Theft‑Prevention Burial Security System, designed to stop criminals from disturbing or accessing burial sites.

The Free State’s Growing Problem of Cemetery Crime

Local communities have reported:

Broken headstones
Opened graves
Stolen ornaments and memorial items
Tampered caskets
Criminals digging into burial sites
Vandalism in remote cemeteries along the N1 and R30

These incidents cause emotional trauma, financial loss, and long‑term damage to burial grounds.
