Death Cafe
January 31st , 6:15pm – 7:45pm
The Death Cafe is a simple concept. Bring strangers together to discuss one of the great universal truths: death. With thousands of chapters in over 26 countries around the world, Death Cafes are informal gatherings that aim to “increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their lives.” There is no set agenda, but small group conversations might include thoughts on burial versus cremation, green burials, what music you want played at your funeral, or a personal experience you had dealing with grief.
Price: Free. Registration required.
(see details below)
Taking place in the Cemetery’s Modern Chapel, Gabrielle Gatto, Green-Wood’s coordinator of public programs and a death doula who holds a certificate in thanatology, invites you to share their thoughts, anxieties, hopes, and questions about death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges—along with tea and pastries!
Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 donation to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer free and low-cost programs throughout the year.
