Meet Rupert Callender (@rucallender), the radical undertaker dismantling tradition and creating funerals that offer families a communal and profoundly memorable experience.

His work is guided by the belief that grief should be witnessed, not hidden; that the living must be part of the farewell, not just observers to it. Each ceremony he leads is shaped by the people involved – their language, their humour, their need for meaning – rather than by inherited convention.

Tomorrow in Brighton: @rucallender is one of our guest speakers. Ru is a punk undertaker, author and ‘Master of MuMumification’. He’ll explain why he’s building a pyramid of human ashes for The KLF in Toxteth and how he incorporates punk and rave ethos into funerals. Expect discussions on the meaning of life, death, crop circles and his new book, ‘What Remains?’.

He’s joining author Kirk Field AKA @ravenewworld.book, who will be talking about his adventures in the rave scene and much more.

7pm at the Nightingale Rooms (upstairs at @grandcentralbn1). Tickets are online now.

Whittling a stick by the River Dart. This was Felix when he was about 14; little did we know that a few years later he would be dead. This appalling event resulted in my memoir The Green Hill, which is out in paperback today. Of course it is a book I never intended to write. But Felix’s death has fundamentally changed my world view and more particularly my relationship with water and the land, and also ancient prehistoric sites. That is what the book is about, as well as of course, grief, but more importantly, love and joy. The book is out now with @wiltonsquarebooks

It’s had some lovely reviews
“Raw, unflinching” @rachelcjoyce_writer

“Heartbreakingly beautiful” - @stone_lands

“Her writing is illuminated by a remarkable attention to the beauty and consolation of the natural world” @sarah_grace_perry

“Superb, essential reading for the bereaved or simply anyone who loves” @rucallender

Tonight - Thursday 23rd April , I will be talking about the book, courtesy of @eastgatebookshop - at Totnes Methodist Church at 7pm, and also showing a very short film about Felix’s burial place , Sharpham Meadow @sharphamtrust - would love to see you there (info in bio )

Part 2 of my Brighton show will feature psychedelic undertaker and People's Pyramid builder Ru Callender. His book 'What Remains' was the best thing I read last year; crop circles, punk rock and how he took rave culture's ethos to shape funerals; no one speaks about death more humorously and humbly than Ru.
