Our Monthly Webinars
We host regular, free and informal webinars about a wide range of subjects relating to death, dying and bereavement. We are grateful to our guest speakers who give their time generously to allow open and informative conversations to be free to everyone who would like to attend.
Our webinars are held at 11am on the second Thursday of the month and last for approximately one hour. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, engage with the material and speak openly and honestly about funerals, death and dying. You will find a list of our upcoming webinars on our Eventbrite page – which we would encourage you to follow so you are notified about new webinars. Webinars are recorded with permission of the guest speaker and recordings can be accessed below.
