End of Life Doula, Penny Merrett will be hosting our January Death Cafe here at The Samuel Worth Chapel, Sheffield General Cemetery, 2.30pm – 4pm.

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.

Tickets are free, but donations are welcome to support the work of Sheffield General Cemetery Trust. If you book a ticket but can not attend, please contact [email protected] so we can reallocate your ticket.
