The Movement for Change
The National Campaign for Compassionate Bereavement Care, pioneered by White Rose Funerals & Memorials, is a powerful initiative born directly from the voices of families and our extensive experience on the front lines of loss. We recognise that grief and mental health challenges, including suicide risk, are profoundly intertwined.
This is not merely a forum for discussion; it is a movement to drive concrete, national-level change in how Wales addresses both grief and its severe mental health consequences. The campaign forms the urgent core agenda of our Wales Bereavement & Mental Well-Being Conference 2025.
The event’s prestige and purpose are underscored by the caliber of its attendees, serving as a vital meeting point for political and institutional leaders, including The Minister of Finance - Mark Drakeford, respected figures like Mark Isherwood MS, senior coroners, mental healthcare specialists, and community representatives. Their presence signals a top-down commitment to addressing these critical issues.
