So all this provided the perfect setting for a relaxed and reasonably intimate conversation about death. We agreed for confidentiality of the group that we could share stories with our friends and families later ...

I am about to hold my first Death Cafe in a few weeks.
I've been approached by some funeral directors who want to attend in a group. My initial thoughts are that this is not the target audience, but then I think just because they work with death I ...
