About this Death Cafe

For the first time in a funeral trade exhibition. The Death Cafè will introduce this year at TANEXPO the successful meetings taking place all around the world, to talk about the death getting free from taboo and prejudices.
Along with a tea, a sip of coffe and some pastries you can face with your colleagues, in a casual and easy atmosphere, on the death and the mourning issues that you as funeral professionals experience every day, and your personal point of view.
There will be two sessions every day, at 11.00 a.m. and at 3.00 p.m. in the Death Cafè space in Hall 22. The Death Cafè meetings are open to everyone and free of charge but there will be a limited number of seats available.
