The seminar will cover how Australia's funerary and burial practices were influenced by the customs of the countries of origin, looking closely at the UK and Ireland.
The reign of Queen Victoria deeply influenced how people responded to death here in Australia. It was during the Edwardian Era we saw changes brought about by WWI. The talk focuses mainly on Queensland and the South East, and in general the Commonwealth.
