About this Death Cafe
Death Cafe is a comforting space for conversations about death. The conversation is chosen or driven by the participants. No judgement. We talk. We eat cake and sometimes make new friends
If you can't stay the entire time it's okay. Bring a friend if you like. We welcome those who come to talk or to listen.
Jon Underwood founded Death Cafe in 2011 and died, unexpectedly, in June 2017. He stated,"At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'."
This is not a grief support group.
