FIAT-IFTA
Conference
2023
addressed
digital
solutions tailored for the funeral industry, Bulgarian
funeral customs and sustainable practices in the
funeral industry and thanatopraxy in particular
the use of formaldehyde thanks to the illuminating
presentations of Ms. Nuria Capdevila and Mr. Craig
L Caldwell. An interesting perspective was provided
also by a panel discussion on “Thanatopraxis and
Sustainability” expertly moderated by Mr Gus Nichols
from Ireland. Panelists included Mr. Craig L. Caldwell
from the UK, Ms. Mylena Cooper from Brazil,
Mr. Antton Loinaz from Spain, and Mr. Dominic
Vernhes from France, offering diverse perspectives
and insights on the subject matter.
Representatives of funeral companies from all
over the world also participated in technical visit
to the Varna Crematorium and toured the Varna
Archaeological Museum, showcasing rich collections
related to funerary culture and the Varna Gold
Treasure, visited the beautiful "Dormition of the
Mother of God" Cathedral, which is a symbol of
the city, and took a trip back in time with the Retro
Museum, which contains exhibits from the period
1944-1989 that tell in artefacts how Bulgarians lived
under socialism.
The evening Gala Dinner was an opportunity to
celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Union of the
Funeral Companies in Bulgaria. The sponsors,
thanks to whom a fantastic meeting in Varna took
place at a very high level, were also honored. The
evening event was also a fantastic opportunity to
enjoy an excellent folklore performance presenting
the music and folk dances of Bulgaria.
We cordially invite all funeral companies to
join the FIAT-IFTA – The World Organization
of Funeral Operatives – www.thanos.org /
