About this Death Cafe

I decided to get on board with the Death cafe as it is a subject which is close to my heart. I have always been interested in death to one degree or another and am committed to ensuring that people have the ending that they wish to have, their way. 

Getting people talking and is one way to break down the taboos around death that have been with us for so long. I think that this began when death started to be removed form our daily lives with the advent of hospitals, hospices, funeral services  etc etc. though very much needed in  this world they play their part in removing death from the family home and from our sphere of experience and influence. 

Death Cafe's are a  great way to begin the dialog...Liz
