2026

The 2026 Stories in Stone cemetery heritage conference will be held on Saturday 29 August, and the venue is the beautiful funeral chapel at 270 Kelvin Grove Road, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane.

This conference will bring together talented presenters to share their explorations and perspectives of cemetery heritage and history with the public.

Stories in Stone 2026 is being organised in partnership with the Queensland Cemetery Heritage and Arts Association Inc. (QCHAA) and White Lady Funerals.

White Lady Funerals will very generously be providing venue access and catering. The venue is ideal, with plenty of seating, ample car parking, wheelchair accessibility, and excellent audiovisual facilities.

QCHAA are a natural fit for this event. At Stories in Stone 2025, no less than six of the conference presenters and two members of the conference organising committee were involved in setting up QCHAA.

The theme for 2026 will be ‘Explorations’ and we are currently discussing ideas for a programme, having already received some expressions of interest from potential presenters. Tickets will be available once we have finalised the conference programme in early 2026.

Stories in Stone is a not-for-profit event.
