Death Dinners are small, informal gatherings where people share a meal and talk about death.
If we can talk about death at the dinner table, maybe we’ll feel less afraid and more prepared.
Topics can include:
Addressing fears about dying
Experiences with loss
What we want at the end of our lives
Funeral wishes
What we want people to remember or know about us
What we would regret not saying or doing
What makes a meaningful life

Host or group are responsible for food (cater, potluck, etc.)
Group size: 6-10 people
Time length: 2-2.5 hours.
