About Death Cafe Wanstead:
Conversations about death & dying are vital ingredients to living a full and happy life.
To acknowledge our finite existence only makes that time all the more precious and in no way diminishes us.
In fact, it has exactly the opposite effect. Life becomes all the more beautiful and so full of wonder because of it will someday end.
Death Café presents us with a wonderful opportunity to have open and honest conversations, where we can talk freely of our experiences, our hopes & our fears.
I have worked in the funeral industry in one form or another since 1993.
I have worked for small independent funeral directors, large corporates, lived within a cemetery, worked at a crematorium and now run my own independent funeral service in East London.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
A lifelong quest to come to terms with death and dying, mine & everyone else’s.
To find meaning and place in a confusing and ever changing world
What would you like your legacy to be?
To have lived
Thoughts for sharing:
“What is the most wonderous thing in the world Yudhishthira?”
And Yudhishthira replied “The most wonderous thing in the world, is that all around us, people can be dying and we don’t realise it can happen to us”
The Mahabharata, by Vsasa

In May 2015, Hasina's eldest brother died, she led his funeral and hosted a Death Café. The theme that evolved was the journey of the soul.
Hosting Death Cafes allowed Hasina to experience and embrace difficult conversations on death & dying. Death Cafe attracts people from all walks of life who share their experience of personal bereavement, planning our departure, feelings about their own death and different types of death, i.e. suicide, accidental, baby/child to sudden deaths. Death Café is an open and safe space that allows people to explore deep unresolved experiences and can be a hugely healing. Each Death Cafe would have a natural ...

On Monday the 10th November, Death Cafe arrived at Forest Gate East London.
I have attended a few Death Cafe's over the last couple of years and I've been humbled by their ability to create a beautiful space, where real honesty and courage are present.
But the thing i love, is you really don't know where the conversation will lead, everyone brings something unique to the party. Not quite bring a bottle, but you know what I mean.
One by one the small group of intrepid existential explorers shared their thoughts and experiences.
We talked about looking after dying parents before and after their death ...
