Death Cafe Kingston
A write up of Death Cafe Kingston
It was an intimate and interesting afternoon attended by men and women from different backgrounds including palliative care, social work, marketing, mental health, funeral arrangers, Kingston University and Kingston Council.
Tea and cakes were enjoyed by all!
Discussions on a range of issues included death and serious illness, stages of dying, difficulties/ novel aspects of arranging and attending funerals, natural burial, death of a pet and the grieving process. Everyone made contributions that were listened to and valued by others and it was a privilege to participate to hear people’s thoughts and experiences.

4th July 5.30-7.30pm
