A very important change with the conference
There is a very important change with the conference: due to the fact that the guesthouse where I intended to organize the conference cannot host all the participants, having also big problems with the room for meals, we decided to change the location of the Dying and Death III Conference from Ramet to Alba Iulia. We are about 74 participants, including here the organizing team! So, under these conditions all the participants at the conference will have their accomodation at Hotel Cetate in Alba Iulia. This is the link to see this Hotel: http://www.hotel.cetate.tourneo.ro/F_New/
This is a good hotel. On Thursday the conference programme by time schedule will be sending out on this blog.
Remember: in spite of this change all the costs conference for participants are free!
Thanks for understanding this!

Dying and Death III Conference - some news
I will attend at the Congres International d'etudes sur les Dances Macabre et l'art Macabre en General which will be held at Sibiu, Romania between 20 and 23 of May 2010. I will present a paper about the issues of cremation in Romania of nowadays. For this reason I have to postpone the evalution of the abstract proposals of the third edition of Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, International Conference until the beginning of next week. We have received abstract proposal from 20 countries and this situation makes me to believe this edition of the conference will be the most extended edition on comparasion with the previous ones. Particulary I'm so very glad because the cremation topic of the conference will be covered very well. The most abstract proposals we received from Italy (9) and UK (6).
Also, Peter C. Jupp will attend at our conference but, unfortunately Tony Walter is not able to come because he is very busy. Hilary Grainger and Brian Parsons are also two very important researchers will come to Romania attending at the conference.

Albaiulianul
The "Albaiulianul" published, in romanian language, a short paper of mine about the actual situation of cremation in Romania. This paper is not a scientific one, but a paper for popularization the practice of cremation and our association, Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association, too. Here is the link to this paper: http://www.albaiulianul.ro/asupra-incinerrii-i-crematoriilor-umane-in-romania.html
I tried to be calm talking on cremation, not burning myself into the feelings' flames!

Review
This is a review of the Proccedings of Dying and Death in 18th-21st century Europe, International Conference, second edition, published in Apostrof, a romanian cultural journal from Cluj Napoca: http://www.revista-apostrof.ro/articole.php?id=1102 *unfortunately this review is written in romanian language. The author, Stefan Borbely is a Professor at the Department of World and Comparative literature of The Faculty of Letters in Cluj, "Babes-Bolyai" University of Cluj Napoca, Romania. This is a very favorable review considering our conference a great succes but Stefan Borbely has doubts that romanian cultural authorities will support us in the future.

AMURG. Romanian Cremation Association
Having in my mind the idea that in a very short time Amurg. Romanian Cremation Association will be a functional structure for sustaining and promoting cremation in Romania I put here a picture of the interwar application for accesion for anyone to become member of Cenusa. Romanian Cremation Society (1937). This is a very important piece of what means a history of cremation in Romania and a very strong argument for us to restore the tradition of the interwar romanian cremationists.

AMURG. Romanian Cremation Association

Last week I met my friend and partner Cosmin Bodrean. We talked a lot about our plans to develop cremation in Romania. Due to the financial crisis in Romania we believe now it's hard to open a crematorium in Transylvania and we will try to develop a stronger system to take the bodies of the transylvanian romanians who want to be cremated to the Sgezed crematorium in Hungary. This is the first practical step for promoting cremation here. On the other hand, the best ideological tool for sustaining and promoting cremation here is our association AMURG. Romanian Cremation Association. In very short time we can facilitate to you to become member of our association. At the very first sight I think we will have about 30 members at the beginning of our asociation. In my opinion this is a very good begining having on my mind the fact that in 1923 when Cenusa. Romanian Cremation Society was founded this had just 14 members!
So, if you are interested to promote and sustain cremation in Romania come with us into the fire, becoming member of AMURG. Romanian Cremation Association!

News
1. I was gone for couple of days to Bucharest trying again to see the archive of Cenusa and Vitan Barzesti crematoria in Bucharest. Unfortunately, in spite of the Adela Frecateanu's efforts, one of the lawyers of ACCU, to help me *(many thanks for your kindness, Adela!), I didn't succed to done it. I think the reason they refused me again with it is not to hide some secrets but just the bureaucracy of the employers of ACCU. Anyway they promised will permit me to see all these archives at my next visit at ACCU . I believe that in maximum 3 weeks I will be gone again to Bucharest for it.
Also, I was to Balaneanu cemetery in Bucharest searching for the grave of Mihai Popovici, one of the most important romanian cremationists, together with my friend Alexandru Murad Mironov from University of Bucharest. Unfortunately, we didn't find this grave.
2 I'm working with professor Eric Venbrux from University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands and my friend Zdenek Nespor, from Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic for an application at a common project research with european funds. The topic of this research project is Cremations and Crematoria in 20th-21st century Europe: Between Western and Eastern European Issues of Cremation. My main problem is the fact is very hard to me to find others 5 researchers in Romania interested in cremation issues, exceepting myself!
