About this Death Cafe

New location!  There is no cost to attend, however, Peet's Coffee and Tea is graciously allowing us to use the establishment.  We would appreciate patronage of their business in exchange for them allowing us to host the event there.

This event is for those 18 and over.

Please arrive on time to hear event introduction.  NO RSVP required

About Carissa and Lizzy

Hi there! My name is Carissa and I am 29 years old. This will be my first time ever, hosting a Death Cafe, and I am truly looking forward to it.

The older I get the faster, it seems, time flies. I was given a second chance at a happy healthy life, and I try every day to not take that for granted. And isn't that the point? To live every day to its fullest?

This is the reason I was so drawn to Columbus Death Cafe. While we discuss death, what we really are talking about, is life. Everyone that attends, has a story, or an experience to share about life and death. I am so excited to facilitate and be a part of a group that fosters this, while in other places, the subject may be taboo.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
