About this Event

A bit more about Death Cafes.

A Death Cafe is a safe, confidential and friendly space for people to come together and talk openly and honestly about death, dying, and making the most of our finite lives. Learn more about how they work and the role of Volunteer Table Host at this training and information session.

This event is part of Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief's Demystifying Death Week and free refreshments will be provided. There will be the chance to sign up as volunteer or attendee at the Whiteinch Centre's Demystifying Death Cafe on Friday 10 May 2024.

It's important to note that Death Cafe is not a bereavement/grief support resource and we advise that you do not attend if you have been very recently bereaved and your grief feels very raw.

Why do people attend a Death Cafe?

People attend for all sorts of reasons. It might be that an illness or getting older makes death feel more present and they feel a need to talk or explore it further.

Some people come because they want to find out how to broach the subject of death and dying with someone close to them, like parents or grandparents. Or it might be a fear of death or dying that prompts someone to attend. For some people, it is just a desire to be more open or a curiosity about the subject.
