We were a small group of three plus the two organisers, this made for a relaxed and intimate conversation which included planning for a funeral, changes to the assisted dying bill, fear around dying, embalming, colonisation and funeral practices. The attendees were all people who had been to Death Cafes before.
The feedback was encouraging - one comment being "it feels so freeing each time to talk about death"
The venue, a room in the local library worked well.

This is the first Death Cafe I've organoised so I was a little nervous. However, I needn't have worried. Seven people turned up, including two who'd seen it advertised on the Death Cafe website. We had a wide-ranging conversation over tea/coffee (and cake!) which encompassed a range of subjects including visits to Dignitas, funerals, cremation or burial and the possibility of donating your body to medical science. We will meet again at the end of January 2025.
