"It's time to talk about dying. I have. Thank you for listening. Its your turn." Kathryn Mannix

"There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, and individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a plot for each person" Anais Nin #diversity #storytelling #funeralcelebrant

Extraordinary storytelling - expression and memorial in words, music, dance. Our Bodies Back, the work of acclaimed American poet/performance artist jessica Care moore in a breath-taking new dance film from Jonzi D. @sadlers_wells #ourbodiesback #equity sadlerswells.com/screen/standal…

Understanding one form of privilege... we are lucky when we can solve a problem with money that we have.

How much do we really think about the words that we use on a daily basis? And how might we can communicate powerfully by speaking to people's hearts? Excited that @DrawntoaStory joins us as guest speaker 10/11 October #funeralcelebrant #diversity4funerals drawntoastory.com/what-language-…

If difference is an accident of birth, why do we give others such a hard time over it? Maybe we don't mean to? We need to ask ourselves some potentially challenging questions if we are to be genuinely inclusive. #conference #funeralcelebrant #funeraldirector #cpd

Are you sure that you know how to be inclusive of LGBTQIA+ people when leading a funeral ceremony? Do you know what 'enby' means? Are you comfortable using they/them pronouns? #funeraldirector #funeralcelebrant #celebranttraining #lgbt #diversity4funerals #inclusion4all

A good rapport with clients is vital. LGBT+ people look for services where they know that they will be welcomed/heard. The secret is in the small details of your behaviour. Join us at our conference, if you want to know more. #funeralcelebrant #funeraldirector #lgbt

How, in 2020, can people be expected/required to deny their sexuality in their final years to secure the care that they need? If someone dies in care with no family this may lead to their having a funeral that doesn't even reflect them. #funeralcelebrant huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/elderly-…

Join us for our Diversity and Inclusion LGBTQIA+ conference for funeral professionals 10/11 Oct. If you aren't positively choosing to be part of the solution, you may be unwittingly part of the problem. #funeralcelebrant #funeraldirector #lgbtequality #inclusion4all #lgbtqia+

"Funeral professionals could do with a lot more diversity and inclusion training, not just for trans or LGBTQIA+ people, but for everyone. I don't think people don't want to do the work, I think they just don't have the opportunities to learn" Come and hear Ash at our conference!

Both invisible AND visible disabilities come with challenges Invisible - you're assumed not to be disabled, you have to 'prove' it if you ever want adjustments or assistance Visible - you can never hide your disability, everyone can see it and judge you, assumed to be incapable

Funeral professionals need to use people's correct pronouns. We must learn to ask & use the pronouns that people choose, no confusion, no sighing, no eye rolling, as whether it's intended or not, that is a judgement on a person's identity. #funeraldirector #funeralcelebrant #lgbt
