Please join us at the Spencerport NY, Death Café for open conversations on death and dying, and together we will create a safe and supportive environment to explore and ask questions with no set agenda, outcomes or themes. Please note that this is a discussion and not a grief support group, although we acknowledge that grief may arise for some as we discuss topics that sometimes touch us deeply.

Facilitator: Lisa Casson
There were five of us in attendance this month, and, to quote one of the attendees, it felt like a ‘meeting of like-minded people’. Right away during introductions, a seed was planted which would shape the discussions throughout the café: How do we stay in the moment? How do we slow down and appreciate what we have? Especially with the consideration that we could die at any moment.
With this question to consider, we also discussed what we need to have in place – a living will, for sure, and power of attorney, but also what conversations do we need to have with our loved ones ...

Death Cafe write up: Portland, OR Thursday Evening Death Cafe
Posted by nomenoyou1 on Jan. 9, 2026, 4:12 p.m.
We had 14 people at this Death Cafe, our largest Thursday evening turnout in several months. The Peace House fireplace was lovely and comforting. Linda facilitated one group and David facilitated another. One table discussed the role of a death doula, the uncertainty of life, the challenges of deciding how much to involve children when a grandparent or parent is dying, how a child's experience with death at a young age can affect them decades later -- among other topics. As always, tea, cake (chocolate), gluten free vegan cookies and other treats were served.

Death Cafe write up: Death Cafe Venice FL - An Important Conversation
Posted by finaljourneydoula on Dec. 31, 2025, 2:28 p.m.
This event was as meaningful as ever. We had 11 people, yet each person had a chance to talk when moved to contribute.
The group consisted mainly of Unitarian Universalist members (from Venice, FL), but these meetings are open to all.
We begin by centering ourselves and bringing our thoughts to the [often difficult] topic of death, dying, our beliefs and discoveries. We shared local experiences. It was great having this even in October - a month of celebrating death and renewal.
After the event, some let me know that they'd like more information about a Green Burial, or other related topics.
I'm happy to oblige; I ...
