NDAN Presents - How Mushrooms Are Changing the Way We Say Goodbye

We spend our lives trying to make a positive impact. Why should that stop when life ends?

In this inspiring talk, inventor Bob Hendrikx shares the unexpected story of how mushrooms inspired a new way of thinking about death. What began with a coffin grown from mycelium in just seven days has become a movement changing funerals and memorialisation around the world. Recognised by TIME as one of the Best Inventions, Loop is now active in 12 countries and has been chosen for more than 10,000 funerals and memorial moments. As Founder & CEO of Loop Biotech, Bob shares his mission to create products that help people say goodbye meaningfully while enriching the earth for future generations. Now, in a partnership between Loop and Arrow Bronze, this movement is coming to Australia and New Zealand.

Bob Hendrikx is an award-winning inventor, architect and biodesigner pioneering a future where products are grown, not manufactured. From living homes and waste-eating objects to the world’s first mushroom coffin, his work explores how collaborating with nature can transform humans from a parasitic into a positive footprint species. As Founder & CEO of Loop Biotech, Bob turns science fiction into reality—creating regenerative products that enrich the planet instead of polluting it.

NDAN Presents - Six Feet Greener: Real stories of choosing natural burial, from the ground up.

Why do people choose a natural burial — and what is it really like? Across Australia, more families are choosing natural burial over conventional options. But why? What actually happens at a natural burial? How do people feel during and after the experience? And, perhaps most importantly — would they choose it again?

In this session, we explore the real reasons people step toward a simpler, more connected way of laying their person to rest.

Fiona Mccuaig (Walawaani Way, NSW) and Heidi Grieg (Yacca Creeks Memorial Reserve, SA) are managers and operators of Natural and Conservation Burial Grounds that align with NDAN’s National Standards of Natural Burial, and Natural Burial Code of Conduct. Together, they bring deep practical experience, community stories, and a shared commitment to reshaping how Australians think about death, care, and the land we return to.

Listen to real experiences from those at the frontier of a cultural shift — one that is changing how we bury, how we grieve, and how we imagine our own final place in the world.

Fiona McCuaig has volunteered and worked for a number of marine conservation and environmental organisations throughout her property career. She has a Bachelor of Economics from Sydney University and a Master of Property at UTS.
After moving down from Sydney to the South Coast of NSW in 2016 she started the journey of establishing Australia’s first 100% natural and conservation burial ground – inspired by a documentary called Will for Woods where an Australian documentary maker called Amy Browne followed a man in America who was dying of cancer and his pursuit of finding a natural burial ground. Fiona says “It seemed like the best way to protect habitat for wildlife and also provide a beautiful place to visit loved ones, a gift to the planet.”

Heidi Grieg has worn many hats in her working life: nurse, Auslan interpreter, teacher, and counsellor for rural youth. During the 2019/2020 bushfires on Kangaroo Island Heidi witnessed the raw strength and capacity of community. Tired of the endless treadmill of outsourcing services to the mainland, Heidi saw a deep need to bring death care back into the community’s embrace – and founded KI Doula Services in response to the existential crisis that was all around her.
After further study with Griffith University, and intensive training as an end-of-doula and holistic funeral director, Heidi now works closely with the palliative care team at the Kangaroo Island Community Health Service, specialising in home death care and family lead funerals on private land in SA. In response to community demand, she quietly manages a private conservation burial ground on the remote western end of Kangaroo Island and is thrilled to be involved in NDAN, an organisation she sees are clearly leading the change in Australia.

NDAN & AHFA jointly present - Supporting people with intellectual disability with death, dying and grief

People with intellectual disability are often excluded from making decisions about:

the end of their lives – including how and where they die – and what care and support they receive
after death – like how they want to be remembered, what happens to their body, and what happens to the things that they own
how they express and navigate grief and bereavement.

Supporters are often unsure how to talk with people with intellectual disability about death, dying and grief. Supporters may worry that people with intellectual disability:

will not understand
cannot make decisions
and will be harmed by talking about these topics.

In fact, people with intellectual disability think these topics are very important and want to be supported to have conversations, to explore and to make their own decisions.

You can contribute to people with intellectual disability having dignity and choice through death, dying and grief.

In this webinar, you will:

hear the voices and stories of people with intellectual disability
learn about common experiences of exclusion for people with intellectual disability
explore tools and approaches for supporting people with intellectual disability with death, dying and grief.

David Pech is an Inclusion Project Officer in the End of Life project at the Council for Intellectual Disability. He has had the privilege of working with and for people with disability for more than 13 years. The Council for Intellectual Disability (CID) is a disability rights organisation that advocates for people with intellectual disability living in NSW. CID works using co-production, which means that people with intellectual disability have a voice and contribute to every part of their work. The session will model best practice for including people with intellectual disability – like presenting in plain English.

Bookings are now open for this event.

NDAN Presents - Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better life

Many of us in the contemporary Western world view death as purely negative—something to be pushed out of our minds, shunned, and avoided. Thinking about death, particularly one’s own, is seen as morbid, if not downright pathological. But, not long ago, contemplating death was widely used as a powerful tool that helped us fear mortality less, put the difficulties of our lives in perspective, and live according to our higher values. (It still is, in some places.) By coming to terms with our own death, we were understood to become wise.

This richly illustrated talk—based on Morbid Anatomy founder’s new book Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life, looked at a number of the ways that people in different times and places have befriended, imagined, pictured or related to death. We looked at psychopomps—literally, “soul guides”—understood to help people move through the dying process. We learnt about the “books of the dead,” guides to preparing for a good death and afterlife experience. And we investigated the memento mori (Latin for “remember you must die”), which are objects, works, or practices meant to remind one of their death in order to help them ascertain their true values, and live them out in the world, so as to die with the fewest deathbed regrets.

This event was hosted on Saturday 9 August 2025.

NDAN Presents - A Rotten Business: Human Decomposition

This talk by human remains conservator Cat Irving looked at the process of decomposition, and what death workers can expect if they encounter it, as well as exploring some of the steps that have been taken to stop it happening. Cat Irving has been the Human Remains Conservator for Surgeons’ Hall since 2015 and has been caring for anatomical and pathological museum collections for over twenty years. After a degree in Anatomical Science, she began removing brains and sewing up bodies at the Edinburgh City Mortuary, where she saw many bodies in various states of decomposition. Following training in the care of wet tissue collections at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, she worked with the preparations of William Hunter at the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow University, where she is now consultant conservator. Cat is a licensed anatomist, and gives regular talks on anatomy and medical history. Recently she has carried out conservation work on the skeleton of serial killer William Burke prior to his display in National Museum of Scotland.

NDAN Panel Discussion on Limited Tenure Burial

Each year, interest in the concept of limited tenure burial appears to increase. This issue is multifaceted, encompassing a range of social, emotional, and financial considerations, and can be approached in various ways. Limited tenure burials have been practiced in many regions of the world for centuries. In Australia we are starting to look at ways of changing how we ‘do’ burial, this has an impact on space, place and people.

In this panel, we were joined by Joe Sehee, Dr Pia Interlandi, Denise Ora, and Dr Samuel Holleran, who together, engaged in a thoughtful, candid, and comprehensive discussion on the potential for Limited Tenure burial in Australia. The conversation addressed the rationale behind such practices, the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation, and key considerations for stakeholders involved.
This event was hosted on Monday 28 April 2025.

NDAN Presents - ‘The churchyard itself is a great-nuisance’ - The lively burial grounds of the eighteenth century.

Death historian Dr Dan O’Brien presented a tour through the unpredictable world of the eighteenth-century burial ground. In a period before the emergence of cemeteries the burial ground was a familiar and practical solution to the inevitable problem of death. It had often been in continual use for centuries and was a resting place for the generations that was situated at the heart of the community that it served. Yet, the burial ground was not only a place for mourning and its residents did not always rest so peacefully. In this talk we heard about the different people that might be found in a burial ground and the very eclectic range of activities that they were involved.
This event was hosted on Friday 7 February 2025.

NDAN Presents - Stories of connection and community in planning for end of life.

Frances Logan and Harpreet Kalsi-Smith will share their lived experiences and work as advocates by exploring the complexities of caring, communicating and connecting people in and between communities. Death has become largely hidden in society resulting in many people being denied opportunity to discuss what is important to them in life, during illness and as death approaches. A diagnosis of a life limiting illness and or a sudden death can reveal their lack of preparedness for such an experience. Much of the knowledge, skills and emotional readiness to meet the challenges and opportunities of caring for our people as they age, approach deteriorating capacity and death have been put aside or lost. Fragmented, siloed health and support services often with limited access due to being situated in cities far away brings overwhelming confusion and lack of coherent information for communities. There is an urgent need to embed conversations and tangible support about living and dying into our health and education services, indeed throughout our social fabric. This needs to happen when we are well, around a diagnosis of life limiting illness, remaining ongoing as a person dies, and afterwards as grief and loss are experienced.

This event was held on Saturday 9 November 2024.

Lyndal Thorne is and arts administrator and advocate, who has been working on natural burial longer than many people. She champions of the value of the arts to regional communities and recognises the immense creative talent of individuals within those communities. Arts advocacy has tipped her into the activism space on numerous occasions. It was through an arts project back in 2014 that she and her family's interest in death literacy and natural burial began. In 2021 her father died after a long illness. The family were determined to do things themselves. In this session she will step through the home funeral and natural burial they were able to organise for him, how it happened, what worked and what didn’t… to ultimately lay him to rest themselves and do what served their grief best.

NDAN Presents - Traditions of Death and Burial with Dr Helen Frisby

We often hear in Australia, people talk about the traditions of the funeral industry, how we do what we do. An often-overlooked fact, is that through the colonisation of Australia we inherited our traditions from Europe with little regard to the traditions our indigenous communities had for thousands of years. So, where then do our current ‘traditions’ come from?
Dr Helen Frisby is an expert funeral historian and who shared her work on the development of the British funeral traditions.

NDAN Presents - The Work of the Dead in Private Law with Dr Kate Falconer

Death is traditionally seen as the endpoint for the individual as a legal person. In private law in particular, the post-death person is conceptualised not so much the opposite of the pre-death person, but the absence of the pre-death person. But we can challenge this accepted view. In this talk we will adopted Avery Gordon’s framework of ‘haunting’ to critically examine the ‘work’ done by the dead in disputes over their bodies. In doing so, we will assess the extent to which the deceased continues to be present and to have a presence in at least some private law disputes.
Dr Kate Falconer is a Lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law at the University of Queensland. Her research interests lie in the law of the dead and bodily disposal, and the ways in which the private law interacts with death, the dead, and dead bodies. She is particularly interested in the impacts and implications of new death technologies both for private law and society more broadly.

Technologies of the Human Corpse

Death and the dead body have never been more alive in the public imagination—not least because of current debates over modern medical technology that is deployed, it seems, expressly to keep human bodies from dying, blurring the boundary between alive and dead.
