The Death Cafe is a simple concept. Bring strangers together to discuss one of the great universal truths: death. With thousands of chapters in over 25 countries around the world, Death Cafes are informal gatherings that aim to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” There is no set agenda, but small group conversations may include thoughts on burial versus cremation, what music you want played at your funeral, or a personal experience you had dealing with grief. 

Price: Free. Registration required.
