Following the overwhelming success of the previous Joint Cremation & Burial Conference & Exhibitions of 2007 and 2008 the major sponsors have decided to repeat the successful event by again joining forces to hold the 2009 Joint Conference in the De Vere deluxe Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth. For the third year in a row the major organisations in the UK have come together to sponsor an annual conference and exhibition in response to requests from delegates and exhibitors alike.

The venue and facilities at the Royal Bath Hotel have been recently refurbished. The hotel is situated in two acres of manicured gardens with panoramic views across Poole Bay, close to Bournemouth Pier and a few minutes walk from the town centre makes it the ideal location for this year’s Joint Conference. The Cremation Society of Great Britain, the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities, the Association of Private Crematoria are delighted to announce that they will be joined by the Association of Burial Authorities as co-sponsors of this joint conference which once again demonstrates a desire for like minded organisations to work towards establishing an annual event dealing with issues common to all.

Further information, including details of a dedicated conference website, will be circulated shortly.  In the meantime please note the above details in your diary and where appropriate notify your relevant committee. So don’t miss this opportunity to give it your support and encourage greater on-going co-operation between cremation and burial organisations.
