About this Event

Following the model developed by Jon Underwood (based on the ideas of Bernard Crettaz), a Death Cafe is an opportunity for people to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death. The goal is to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives.”

At Mount Auburn's Death Cafe, attendees will have the opportunity to speak in small group settings and have organic and meaningful discussions on mortality. The discussions will begin with open-ended prompts and each group will be facilitated by a Mount Auburn Cemetery staff member.

Space is limited and preregistration is required! Tea and Cupcakes will be served.


PLEASE NOTE: This is not an end-of-life planning event, bereavement group, or grief counseling session. We hope that you will come with an open mind, prepared to discuss the topic of death with strangers in a safe, respectful environment.
