ICCM Learning Convention – DeadSocial’s Paper
Last week we attended and presented a paper at the ICCM Learning Convention 2015. It was a wonderful event and we came away with plenty of food for thought. The ICCM are an organisation dedicated to developing and promoting best practice in cemeteries and crematoria. They were founded in 1913.
