Our second Death Cafe was held on January 29, 2024 and we titled it "The Conversation Continues". We had 11 individuals attend, some individuals from our prior group as well as new attendees. Spirited discussion ensued about "What is a Good Death?", and burial options in our local area, including some newer innovative approaches such as human composting. Participants also shared emotional experinces related to caring for a dying loved one. The group was engaged and supportive to each other and requested that another death cafe be held in the near future.
