Death Cafe

What really happens after we die? Join us for a unique panel discussion, featuring professionals whose work brings them face-to-face with death on October 24th at 1 pm. We’ll explore end-of-life, funeral traditions, and the processes often kept behind closed doors. This isn’t your typical Death Café. Our conversation will be guided by knowledgeable panelists, with time for your questions and curiosity. Come for the conversation. Stay for the cake.
RSVP requested but not required so we can plan enough refreshments. Please see below.
