2013 CONVENTION PREVIEW
The book, The Good Funeral–Death, Grief and the Commu-
nity of Care, seeks to inform and inspire a new generation on
the religious, culture and social importance of serving the
living by caring for the dead.
Bryan Dodge, presenting Building a Better You, October 23,
will open attendees’ minds and hearts to help them focus on
the most essential aspects of life–reaching their full potential
with their family and as funeral directors. Dodge’s humor-
ous, life-changing stories will move attendees to take charge
of their own personal growth and to help better serve families.
Long and Lynch will return to present, Coming Together to
Serve the Dying, Dead and Bereaved, a special engagement,
on October 23. Together they will examine how society
deals with dying and death and discuss strategies that hos-
pice workers, clergy and funeral directors can use to better
serve the dying, the dead and the bereaved.
