Here's a recap of the fabulous two days enjoyed by our CCASA members, sponsors and speakers.

Thursday 13th May: 

CCASA members were treated to three very interesting tours onThursday, 13 May 2021.  

  

1.  Royal Adelaide Hospital Mortuary

 

The mortuary at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital has four state of the art autopsy suites and increased body storage capacity. CCASA members were privileged to be given a tour of the facilities including the dedicated viewing space

for families of the deceased, to see the latest robotic lifting equipment in motion and to learn of the mortuary processes.

​

2.  Walkerville Cemetery

                        

The Wesleyan Cemetery in Walkerville is a historic site established in 1849.

The cemetery was closed to full burials in 1973 but continues to function as a

place for inurnment of ashes.  The site is owned by Town of Walkerville. 

Due to the proximity to the St Andrew’s School, and after a risk

assessment was carried out, a safety audit has been conducted with a

number of the at risk headstones now made safe.   This was an opportunity

to learn about the audit process, assessments on each headstone, costings

and final outcome.

3.  West Terrace Cemetery Night Tour -"Mavericks, Madness and Murder Most Foul' 

​

Thursday evening's CCASA Sponsor and Member Event held at West Terrace Cemetery was a real highlight.  It set the scene for an exciting and fun opportunity for members and sponsors to socialise and network in an informal fashion whilst enjoying delicious food and a little wine!  Things got a lot more fun when everyone was treated to an award-winning Cemetery Night Tour.
