What is a Death Café?

Meet Davina, our Chaplain

If you’re not sure what a Death Café is, Davina our Chaplain has written a blog about what to expect and how it’s very different to how she even first imagined! We know these are still very difficult conversations to have, even in a Hospice.

The death café movement

Although it’s only our second death café, death cafes are a growing movement to help people of all ages and backgrounds to better understand death. It is certainly not a grief or a bereavement session, it’s quite the opposite. Others have spoken of a death café being an uplifting experience, getting them to think about life and all the things they have achieved and what they want to do before they die.
