Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Death Cafe comes to Tottenham!
Death Cafe is a worldwide movement, with the simple aim of getting people together to talk about death over coffee and cake. The subject matter is whatever people bring: worries about your own death or other people's, coping with loss, feelings about funerals - anything death-related. It's not counselling, and not an information session (though we plan one of those for the New Year), just ordinary people sharing thoughts.
The next Death Cafe Tottenham is on Monday 27 November, 7.0 - 9.0pm, at Blighty India Cafe, 266 High Road, N15 4AJ. Entry is free, but we hope people will spend a bit in the cafe, as Blighty are letting us use the space without charge. Jane Morgan and I, who run Death Cafe Tottenham, are both experienced funeral celebrants (ie we conduct secular funerals), and I've also worked as an undertaker.
Message me here if you have any questions; or register via our Facebook events page: https://www.facebook.com/events/279328145923187/
Hope to see you on 27th!

Yep, recommended. I went to one at St Josephs Hospice as part of their Death Week, yes this happens every year. Dozens in the room, tables of eight, my table people from 19 to 70+. Believers and not. Some of whom had never talked about death, some old hands. Lots of biscuits. Much laughter. The South Bank had a Death festival in 2012 which was just extraordinary - arts/ talks/videos/therapy.
We all agreed that death itself is not the problem, it's the dying - and talked of ways to improve that.
