Danielle Neale on “UU Even in Death: a look at burial practices across religions.”

Our speaker, Danielle Neale, is an adjunct professor of bioanthropology at Columbus State University, where she teaches and conducts research focusing on human remains.

Professor Neale is originally from Massachusetts, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in archaeology and history. She traveled the U.S. as an archaeologist until she returned to school to earn a master’s degree at the University of Southern Mississippi.

In addition to teaching and research, Professor Neale consults with local police to help identify human remains, she assists the Muscogee County Public Library with teen and adult forensic programs and she lectures on various anthropological topics. She’s also writing a textbook. However, her greatest joy is spending time with her husband, Jason, and their two sons, and two daughters.

Sunday services begin at 11 a.m. but join us for coffee, refreshments and conversation any time after 10:15 a.m.

Our services typically are centered on a talk—either by a member of our Fellowship, like Danielle, or by a guest speaker. Services also include music, meditation and opportunities (always optional) to add your own thoughts. Unitarian Universalists (UUs) don’t share a creed. Rather, we support each other in our own free and responsible searches for truth and meaning. For us, dogma is less important than treating our fellow human beings with respect. And visitors are always welcome.
