Cemeteries and Crematoria Seminar 2025

Bereavement Services are under increasing pressures to become self-sustaining commercial ventures, be adaptable to meet changing ethnic and lifestyle requirements and able to meet new legislative demands. Whilst these challenges must be met, ensuring customer service and empathy remains at the heart of service delivery is paramount.

Service managers are facing new and additional challenges including: dealing with increasing public health funerals, protecting and enhancing the local environment, preserving monuments and important historical graves, increased funeral poverty and reductions in budgets.

This seminar brings together a range of expert speakers who will showcase how they are meeting the challenges and creating bereavement services that are sustainable for the future, alongside maintaining excellence and empathy. There will also be the opportunity to network with colleagues and meet exhibitors of products and services which will help Bereavement Managers in delivering higher quality services.

APSE is pleased to announce that the event will also include a guided tour of the National Memorial Arboretum, to allow delegates to discover the stories behind some of the memorials
