As part of national Dying To Know Day in August, local funeral celebrant Rosie Kaplan is offering a Death Cafe.

Death Cafe is a global movement that brings people together in small groups for lively conversations about death while enjoying tea and cake.

Death Cafe is a safe, relaxed environment that welcomes discussion about death and related concepts, whether they are personal, philosophical or logistical in nature.

This is not a workshop or therapy group, just a welcoming space for anyone who has a curiosity or wishes to discuss death and dying.

The Death Cafe, a gold coin event, is being held in Lennox Head on Thursday August 9 from 10am to 12.30pm.

Advanced registration is required so please phone 0438401716 for more details and to sign up.
