Nine of us gathered and had a long-form, wide-ranging conversation about death – our experience with it or lack thereof, our grief over it, our expectation of our own deaths and those we love, our preparations or lack thereof. It's so gratifiying to meet people IRL and for everyone to share openly and honestly, to listen attentively. I'm full of gratitude and eagerly anticipate the next one.

I enjoyed a robust conversation. Generally, it was a quiet and soft-spoken group. No one had been to a Death Cafe before. Several people had left conservative religious traditions and were navigating a spiritual life that filled their current needs. A few people had recent losses and others had no personal experience with death. We had long discussions on the dying process and what came after death. Fear was a common theme. People asked for insights on how to connect with family. There was some loneliness. We had long conversations on preparing for death. Some attendees wanted to connect with others, others wanted to be more comfortable with ...
Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe - Kirby Muxloe
Posted by Catrina Young on June 8, 2025, 7:16 a.m.
Absolutely thrilled that Kirby Muxloe’s first Death Cafe was well attended; there were approximately ten of us of various ages and genders. Everyone contributed to discussions which ranged from whether it was important to have a funeral to whether we’d like to record a farewell to be played after we die. Several people shared the importance they felt for holding conversations with loved ones about their funeral wishes or leaving written instructions. Judging by their comments it’s fair to say others enjoyed it too with several committing to attending future cafes.
The next Death Cafe will be held at The Royal Oak, Kirby Muxloe 24th ...
