CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
A few words from families we’ve served..
Dammy
Caring for the dead is a huge service. I love the structure of your cemetery and how you take care of the space. Well-done and keep up the good job.
Wale Ogunniran
Ebony casket, one of Africa's best and foremost funeral undertakers was fully in charge of the final burial programme of Late Pa Williams Olupoju Ogunniran at Ibadan. The burial ceremony was indeed a carnival which made it to become talk of the town among people living in the largest town in the whole of West Africa.
Lanre Da Sylva
I want to take a moment and thank you again for the very nice service you performed for father's memorial. I had several people come up to me to say "what a wonderful funeral". It was a nice tribute to him.
Bunmi Salami
Serene, sane and organised. Ambience, calm and clean settings including the rest rooms ( toilets). Facilities top notch, graves were being washed, routinely cleaned, grasses trimmed, the care and attention on the part of this establishment is extraordinary. Good signage, to aid directions , canopy and chairs for guests. Graves and vaults...were all laid out, easily accessible, I am super impressed...this is far cry from the typical cemeteries in Lagos.
Niyi Karunwi
Ebony Vaults located in Alagbon Close, Ikoyi, is a serene private Cemetary. It is a well planned final resting place for the repose of the remains of lost ones. It is well set out with a welcoming parking area from where guests are ushered into the vault area. The vaults are built and arranged in well set-out sections. It is not cheap but one can rest be assured that the vaults containing the remains of souls interred therein will be maintained and serviced. Recommended.

This vault is located in ikoyi and it's one of the nicest place to bury our dead elders. Tho it's expensive but their service is great.
Kemi
We were burying my father at Ikoyi Cemetery but needed a venue for the service. Ebony Vaults turned out to be ideal. We had five days to plan the funeral and I liaised, from the UK, with Seyi over WhatsApp. All details were taken care of – picking up my father’s body from the mortuary, confirming his clothes, setting up the room for the service, testing the screen for the photos we wanted to display, providing the hearse to transport him to the cemetery as well as the pall bearers to lay him to rest. We discussed options, I was able to choose what I thought my father would prefer and it all came in within budget. I arrived in Lagos only 1.5 days before the actual funeral and everything went very smoothly. I was very impressed with the efficiency and quality of the services that Ebony Vaults provide and with the upkeep of the vaults on site.
Eyo Etim
Modern, Clean and well maintained private Cemetary with vaults, a private chapel, showroom for caskets, pall bearers and all associated services for handling funerals. Located in a serene part of Ikoyi in the Lagos metropolis. Highly recommended for funeral resources and services.
