For this Black History Year event, guest speaker Maxine Edgar, Founder and Funeral Director of Bronze Ash Funerals, will explore the evolution of the Black funeral, funerary rites and practices, and the relationship with death from the enslavement of Black people to the present times.
This discussion will provide a supportive approach to grief and bereavement by looking at practices that family and friends engage with when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Other themes will include a review of religious practices and rituals.
Because of the sensitivity of the topic, we ask that you make an informed decision when choosing to book and attend the event.
Audience questions are also welcome for the Q&A session.
After you sign up via Eventbrite, the link to join the event and further details will be sent to you closer to the date.
