Death Cafe presented by Community Death Care Services and hosted by Harmony Grove Cemetery
Join Meg Nichols from Community Death Care Services and the staff of Harmony Grove Cemetery on June 18th, for an evening of organic conversation about death and dying. The agenda is that there is no agenda! We will share guided prompts to get us in the flow, and it will develop from there. We work really hard to include everyone in the conversation and help people feel as welcome as we’d want to be in a new space, especially when discussing potentially sensitive topics.
Complementary tea and treats will be served. We hope you can join us!

What is a Death Cafe?
A Death Cafe is an opportunity for people to gather, drink tea, and talk about their experiences with death and grief. It is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. Please note that it is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
