Culture is changing. Technology is changing. Funerals are changing- and there are big sociological and theological questions emerging.

Speakers include Professor Douglas Davies, Isabel Russo, Sandra Millar and Joanna Collicut-McGrath, and the day will be hosted by The Rt. Revd. John Inge, Bishop of Worcester.

Topics include:

Why bodies matter
Ashes to ashes: then what?
