“We are proud to partner with SOKNA and to offer all the benefits of its services to syndicate members,” Zaky said.
“We and SOKNA share the same vision regarding the importance of honoring the deceased, and making the whole process as smooth and hassle-free as possible for families and loved ones, and no one does it better than the SOKNA team.”
“SOKNA’s professionalism and attention to detail are unparalleled, and the fantastic level of service provided by the company has been proven in several occasions,” said actress Nihal Anbar, Medical File Officer for the Syndicate of Representative Professions.
