Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. A gathering of individuals, often strangers, come together in restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores and living rooms to talk about death and living well over tea and cake. For the time being, COVID-19 has taken Death Café gatherings out of coffee shops and moved them to virtual gatherings.
