Death is a universal truth that unites us all. Through confronting death we begin to understand how to make the most of our lives without fear.

Do you know what we do with our bodies at the end of life, and why? Have you thought about how can we truly honour the meaning of a life? Would a ‘traditional’ funeral align with the values you hold in life? This talk aims to raise these queries, open up the conversation and explore the possibilities of funerals in the present day and beyond.

Tora Colwill established The Modern Funeral to provide flexible funeral services and support people to create highly personal, meaningful funerals. Lyn Baylis has been a LifeRites Minister for 20 years. For the last 30 years she has worked as a Prison Chaplain, Hospital & Hospice Chaplain and believes that funeral ceremonies should be more focused on the needs and requirements of the deceased and their family.

Thought provoking and gently confrontational, this talk will be providing context through human history and musing to the future. Tora and Lyn will look at where the practical and ceremonial aspects of funerals can merge to create meaning.

45-minute talk, followed by opportunity for audience questions.
