About this Death Cafe

Come join us for our first time at this lovely location.

Encourage your friends to come along to experience the lively conversations about all things related to Death and Dying that take place at a Death Café!

We want to thank Hospice & Palliative Care for helping coordinate this event and providing an essential part of every Death Café…the cake!

Also, we’re hoping to start a lending library of books related to end of life issues. Sort of a Little Free Library of Death! If you have an appropriate book you’d like to donate, bring it along to add to our collection.

Memento mori!
