End of Life Doula, Penny Merrett will be hosting our May Death Cafe, here at The Samuel Worth Chapel, Sheffield General Cemetery, 1.30pm – 3pm.
At a Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. Our objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counselling session.
It is a free event but tickets need to be booked. Donations are always welcome and go towards the charitable aims of Sheffield General Cemetery Trust.
