About this Death Cafe

 

As academics we are interested in the rise in popularity of the Death Cafe, and during 2017 and 2018 Dr Naomi Richards will lead research into this phenomenon.

 

Before we begin our research we want to attend and host as many death cafes as possible, to get a feel for how they are. We have found that we enjoy them, and that they are a rewarding experience – and we hope that you will too.

 

Our team won't be doing any research at this death cafe - we will be taking part in the discussion as individuals. Please come along and join us!
