Founded in 1913, the ICCM is a membership organisation for those that own, manage or work in cemeteries and crematoria in the UK. The aim of the ICCM is to raise standards for bereaved people through the provision of accredited training, education and best practice guidance to its members. Members are kept informed of developments in the bereavement sector through regular newsletters, a quarterly publication – The Journal – a comprehensive website, branch meetings, and an annual Learning Convention and Exhibition. The website is an invaluable repository of practice guidance and codes.
