An Inspiring Day of Professional Excellence! 🤝
It was a privilege for our National President, Clive, to attend the recent Professional Practice Seminar held at the beautiful Lelley Field Crematorium in Hull.
The day was a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues and industry leaders including members of the funeral supplies association.

We extend our thanks to Crematorium Manager Christine Walker-Kelley and team for arranging the day being such gracious hosts.
Highlights of the Day:

The seminar featured exceptionally insightful talks that sparked meaningful discussion on the future of funeral service and bereavement care.

Networking: It was wonderful to see so many professionals coming together to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices.

Collaboration: Strengthening the bond between funeral directors and crematoria staff ensures we continue to provide the highest standard of care for the families we serve.

At the BIFD, we believe that continuous learning and professional fellowship are the heart of our vocation. Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success!

Our BIFD President, Clive, had a fantastic time representing the Institute at the recent British Institute of Embalmers (BIE) conference. It was a truly significant occasion as he witnessed the passing of the chain of office.
The event held a special personal note for Clive; as he watched Edward Price conclude a successful year as President, he was delighted to see Maria Stibbards installed as the new BIE President.
The bond between our two institutes runs deep—Clive and Maria actually trained as embalming tutors together back in 2005! 🎓✨
Please join us in thanking Edward for his service and sending a huge congratulations to Maria as she begins her presidential year.
