Lecturer Biography: Dr. Nick Overduin has officiated at funerals for about 40 years. This work actually began in earnest, however, after retirement five years ago, at the conclusion of which I had obtained my PhD in philosophy. My thesis dealt with issues of truth and fiction in biography and autobiography. I love officiating at funerals and meeting with the families in the days beforehand in order to plan the service. Over the past few years, leading in more than 125 funerals, I have noticed the emergence of new trends in the way people want to have funerals conducted, and I have also researched the topic. I will share my experiences and impressions, plus mobilize class discussions on this topic, within a context of scholarly resources and other industry-based opinions. |
