Death Cafe Gathering in Frederick
A write up of Death Cafe - Frederick, MD
By BunnyODell
40 people ranging in ages from their 20s to their 80s gathered at the Canal Bar & Grill at 8:30 AM on Saturday, June 7, to discuss death. Bunny O'Dell and Kriste Kidd co-hosted the event and facilitated along with Chad Harris and Cheryl Parrott. We broke into 4 tables of approximately 10 each. At times, the conversation was so lively we had to listen really closely to hear the comments at our tables . . . there was no shortage of opinions, hopes, and thoughts about death and dying. We served refreshments, including coffin and skull/crossbone- shaped cookies. I don't think Kriste and I realized in advance how many people really want to join in conversations about a topic that will touch every one of us. There were literally no empty chairs left in the entire restaurant.
