Following the overwhelming success of the International Cremation & Burial Conference & Exhibition 2007 the major organisations have decided to hold a similar event in 2008 at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. For the second year in a row the major organisations in the UK have come together to stage an annual conference and exhibition in response to requests from delegates and exhibitors alike.
The venue and facilities were much appreciated by those who attended the 2007 conference so it has been decided to use the venue again, for 2008 only, but for the convenience of delegates and exhibitors this year’s conference will be held at an earlier date. The Cremation Society of Great Britain, the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities and the Association of Private Crematoria are delighted to announce that they will be joined by the Association of Burial Authorities as organisers of this joint conference, which once again demonstrates the ability of like minded organisations to work towards establishing an annual event dealing with issues common to all.
For members of the Institute of Bereavement Services Management, this event will contribute ten hours of CPD.

NOTE: The Cremation Society of Great Britain is the founder and pioneer of the cremation movement in the United Kingdom. It established the first crematorium in the UK and is a founder member of the International Cremation Federation.
The Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities represents 90% of all cremation authorities in the United Kingdom and has recently widened its scope to allow full membership of the FBCA to burial authorities.
The Association of Private Crematoria represents 75% of all private crematoria in the UK. Nearly all new crematoria are being established by the private sector.
The Association of Burial Authorities was formed in 1993 to fulfil the need for a consumer orientated organisation to co-ordinate the activities of burial grounds and provide a tangible link between them and the public.
