NDANPresents Traditions in Death and Burial, Dr Helen Frisby
About
The way we do things here in Australia was designed a long way away. We often hear in Australia, people talk about the traditions of the funeral industry, how we do what we do. An often-overlooked fact, is that through the colonisation of Australia we inherited our traditions from Europe with little regard to the traditions our indigenous communities had for thousands of years. So, where then do our current ‘traditions’ come from?Dr Helen Frisby is an expert funeral historian and she will be sharing her fascinating work on the developments of British funeral traditions, this is of course what was imported to Australia and forms the basis of 'its what we do'.
