Started, by Gerrit Van Der Merwe, as a flower farm back in 1932, the business that would become Fourways Memorial Park passed into the hands of his son, Koot, when Gerrit passed away in 1967. Koot Van Der Merwe continued successfully farming until 1997 when the family decided to develop the farm into the first exclusive, private memorial park in South Africa, currently run by Gerrit Van Der Merwe (Junior) , the third generation, and not the last, to run the farm successfully.
