The tireless and indefatigable Dr. Chantal Lockey has been in touch with us at GFG Towers about the upcoming National Conference in Pregnancy and Infant Loss that she is organising, which is taking place in London in early March. If you are a professional who works with bereaved parents in any capacity, or a parent who has been bereaved, this full day event looks hugely worthwhile attending. Tickets are still available if you are interested – all details here. Chantal is particularly keen to receive nominations for funeral arrangers or funeral directors who have been exceptional in their work with an infant’s funeral. If you have a colleague or a staff member who you think has been outstanding when helping bereaved parents, there are just a few days left to nominate them. Nominations close on Monday 6th February – e-mail Chantal directly if you think you know someone who deserves recognition for this incredibly difficult and sensitive aspect of the undertaker’s work – her contact details are [email protected] Fran will be attending the conference and presenting this award, so in the spirit of fairness and impartiality we aren’t able to nominate any of our fabulous recommended funeral directors ourselves, otherwise we would be busy doing so. It’s over to you to send in the names of anyone you think should be considered for it. Hope to see at least some of you there on the day.

The bronze marker was removed in the ‘80s from Marilyn’s mausoleum at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in L.A. and replaced with a new one … which happens every so often because fans manhandle it and it gets worn. via Tumblr Marilyn Monroe Mausoleum Marker Up For Grabs
