A Weekend for the Living...

when we talk ‘death’

The Joy of Death Festival has become:

The Good Funeral Awards

The Bournemouth Joy of Death Festival 2012 was a great success.

We got extensive coverage in the media and over 100 people attended the first UK Funeral Awards ceremony which we held in the Greenhouse Hotel.

Sky TV will broadcast a documentary about the funeral awards in 2013, so look out for that.

Meanwhile, we have changed the name of the weekend to the Good Funeral Awards because several people complained that  there was no joy in death or bereavement.

Grief specialist, Kristie West, gave this address on the subject

Nathaniel Sr: You hang onto your pain like it means something, like it's worth something. Well, let me tell 'ya, it's not worth shit. Let it go. Infinite possibilities, and all he can do is whine.

David: Well, what am I supposed to do?

Nathaniel Sr: What do you think? You can do anything, you lucky bastard, you're alive! What's a little pain compared to that?

David: It can't be that simple.

Nathaniel Sr: [putting his arm around David and pulling him closer] What if it is?
