A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes.

At Death Cafe, people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death. Our objective is to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.

Come and share your thoughts, experiences, and questions in a safe space free of judgment or expectations. Let’s break the silence surrounding death and embrace its role in our lives!

What Death Cafe IS:

With no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action.

As an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express theirviews safely.

On a not for profit basis.

Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food and dessert.

What Death Cafe is NOT:

Death Cafe is not a bereavement support or grief counselling setting.

Death Cafe doesn't work for people who, for whatever reason, aren't able to discuss death comfortably and openly. There are many projects better set up for this.

Death Cafes aren't an opportunity to give people information about death and dying - regardless of how good or important it is. Rather we create time to discussdeath without expectations.

Death Cafe doesn't work as a method of community engagement, research or consultation. lt shouldn't be used for these purposes.
