Funéraire Paris 2027: the funeral art trade fair in Le Bourget

Funéraire Paris marks its 40th anniversary in 2027 with its 21st edition, cementing its position as Europe's reference trade fair for funeral art. The gathering brings the entire industry chain together —manufacturers, stonemasons, funeral homes, crematoria and service providers— at the Parc des Expositions Paris Le Bourget. The event is trade-only and retains its biennial format. The previous edition welcomed more than 200 exhibiting companies and close to 6,000 visitors, 20% of them international. Product categories span bronzes, ceramics and memorial plaques through to coffins, urns, thanatopraxy, engraving machinery and digital services for the sector. What's new for 2027: Thursday opening hours extended to 9pm and a visual identity inspired by the fair's original 1987 logo. The programme features the Funéraire d'Or award ceremony, talks on digital death-certificate processing and panel discussions on CSR in public cemeteries. The fair is organised by SAF (Syndicat de l'Art Funéraire), which founded the event in 1987 and has chaired its organisation ever since. For accommodation near the venue, the Le Bourget area and northern Paris offer a wide hotel range with direct RER B connections.
