Do you know of a Death Cafe in your area?
According to deathcafe.com, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death at a Death Cafe. The objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.
Death Cafes are generally always offered:
- On a not for profit basis
- In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
- With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action
- Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake!
People often ask why they exist. Everyone has their own reasons for getting involved in Death Cafe. In the video below, Death Cafe Portland organiser Kate Brassington gives hers:

9 年What a fantastic video.Having experienced the loss of my father recently I can fully understand. I work in succession planning and talk with people every day on death, most find it very difficult.
