Call for Papers

The organisers are seeking papers related to the 2019 Pause, Reflect, Respond: An informative update on burial and cremation issues.

The burial and cremation sectors are facing unprecedented change in the way that services to the bereaved are delivered. The rise of direct cremation, the CMA review, ecological challenges and the need to deliver ever more services within shrinking budgets. 

CBCE 2019 provides the ideal opportunity to Pause and Reflect on what is happening within the sector and equipping delegates with an invaluable insight to Respond to the changes taking place within their services. This will enable better planning for the continuing delivery of excellence.

As the bereavement sector continues to grow this key annual event provides a unique opportunity to acquire the most up-to-date and relevant information.  Keynote speakers will equip you with insights into the issues facing services, exhibitors will show you the latest services and products available and networking opportunities will provide the space to engage with fellow professionals.

Submissions are encouraged from anyone with an interest in this field who would like to share their work with delegates. We welcome submissions from those working within the death care sector.

Presentations should be approximately 20 minutes in duration and the presenter should be willing to participate in a short question and answer after the presentation.
