Death Cafè

Death Cafè

Overview

A welcoming space for open conversations about death, grief, legacy, and the stories that shape us.

📍 Crouch Family Reading Room, inside the Story Center at Mid-Continent Public Library - Woodneath Center

Death Cafè hosted by Ashes 2 Altars

What if we made room for the conversations we often avoid?

Death Cafè is a welcoming, informal gathering where we come together to talk openly about legacy, remembrance, grief, and the stories that shape us.

There's no presentation, no required agenda, and no expectation that you have to share. You can speak, reflect, listen or just sit with us in conversation. There are no right or wrong answers. Just room for curiosity and honest conversation.

What to expect:

🕯️ Thought provoking conversation

🕯️ Questions that help guide a gentle discussion

🕯️ Space to listen and share at your own comfort level

🕯️ Opprotunity to connect with others around a topic we don't often get to discuss, but all share.


Death Cafè is not a grief support group, therapy session, or religious service. This space is for people to gather and have meaningful conversations about death and the many ways it touches our lives.


After the conversation:

The formal conversation of Death Cafè will end at 2:30 pm, but anybody who would like to continue visiting is welcome to join us at the cafe next door for an informal conversation afterwards.


Come as you are. No expertise required. Just bring your curiosity.
