Introducing the Death Futures Seminar Series

Hosted by the University of Melbourne's DeathTech Research Team in partnership with GMCT, this seminar series explored key questions for the future of cemeteries, memorialisation and deathcare.

From sustainable alternatives to traditional burial and cremation to the changing role of digital technology in mourning and commemoration, the future is full of exciting challenges and opportunities for the deathcare industry. 

In 2021, the University of Melbourne’s DeathTech Research Team hosted a seminar series called Death Futures to explore these topics. The seminars were initially presented for an audience of industry insiders at GMCT, but we think they’re so valuable that we’re making them available to a wider audience.
