It is with great pride and excitement that I invite you to this year’s Annual Conference, as we celebrate 120 years of our Association’s history.

​

This milestone honours the values and resilience that have shaped us. It’s a time to reconnect and reaffirm our commitment to the future of our profession.

​

Over three days, we’ll gather to network, learn, and celebrate. Whether it’s your first time or a return visit, the conference offers opportunities to engage, build relationships, and share experiences. With dynamic speakers, discussions, and hands-on sessions, the program is designed to inspire growth and collaboration.

​

A special moment will be celebrating our 2024/2025 graduates as they receive their Arranging & Administration Certificates and Diploma in Funeral Directing. Their dedication reflects the future we’re building together. We’ll also reflect on our 120-year journey — the challenges, achievements, and people who’ve shaped our story.

The conference includes our Annual General Meeting — your chance to contribute and help guide the Association’s future.

​

I encourage everyone to attend. Come connect, contribute, and celebrate all we’ve achieved — and all that lies ahead.
