Ian Hember

Who I am

I'm an archaeologist and public servant, currently the Registrar under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act for the Province of Ontario, Canada. I'm also acting Manager of the Burials Unit at the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery. My work involves burial sites, cemetery abandonments and closures, and how these intersect with the efforts to search for unmarked graves at former residential schools.

Talk to me about archaeology, human remains, modern regulatory compliance, mentorship and reconciliation.

This is very much a draft, and I haven't fixed all the bugs or tidied up the code. Please be kind.
