Bloemfontein - The body of the late Paul Meintjes - whose resurrection was predicted by a "prophet" after his death about seven weeks ago - was still at the state morgue in Bloemfontein on Monday, police said.
It was removed from the family's home at Hertzogville on Saturday morning, police spokesperson Captain Sam Makhele said.
By 10:30 on Monday the family had not yet contacted the police regarding funeral arrangements.
Makhele said police would wait until the end of the day to hear what arrangements had been made.
If no satisfactory plan was ready, police would approach the city magistrate's court for a funeral order.
It would be for the magistrate to decide the nature of the funeral.
Earlier, it was reported his family would have the body cremated on Monday after a memorial service.
