The objective of Death Cafes are to increase awareness of death and help people make the most of their finite lives. Death Cafes are respectful and open-minded spaces, with no predetermined agenda. Discussions are group directed and only adults, aged 18 years of age and older should participate in this event. The Death Cafe is a discussion rather than a grief support or counselling session.

This event is free and open to the public. 
Attendees must be 18 years old to participate.

Contact Dr. Melissa Heinz (melinda.heinz@uni.edu) with any questions.
