About this Death Cafe
Billy Mitchell took a tour of Oklahoma Cremation Services with some of his hospice social workers and came back excited! He’d been searching for a spot to host a Death Café in Oklahoma City. The owner of Oklahoma City Cremation was very welcoming and has allowed us to use his space for the gathering and is even providing a Death by Chocolate buffet for our evening snack. He is allowing us to offer the event the next morning, same spot, at 9:00 a.m. and a chocolate breakfast will be provided by Heavenly Hospice and TrueVine Healthcare. We relate to the philosophy and feeling of this movement. We believe the more comfortable people are with talking about death, exploring it, the more they will gain from living each day and in making their advanced plans. In general, we know their lives, their gratitude for each day and their end of life experiences will be better because of just talking and listening. Not many people talk about and think about death as much as we do. And now we can offer a chance for others to talk about it with chocolate, in a cremation facility, with the feeling that Billy always provides: a safe and welcoming experience.
