Sobre nosotros
The Houston Death Collaborative meetup is a place for those curious about becoming “death-positive”!
What started in 2012 as a group primarily for hosting Death Cafes has expanded. We are a hub for activities in Houston that normalize talking about death and dying and foster the humanity behind our mortality.
In addition to organizing monthly Death Cafes across greater Houston, we also host other events for anyone who wishes to engage in conversations about death, and connect with others while doing so.

Beyond Death Café - North Houston
Indiangrass Preserve, 31975 Hebert Rd, Waller, TX, USBeyond Death Café – North Houston is heading out on a field trip (by popular request!), and yes… you get a bonus weekend of talking about death—what could be better? 😉
Join us and the Conservation Cemetery team for a unique, thoughtful, and surprisingly beautiful experience exploring conservation burial.
We’ll begin at the Katy Prairie Welcome Center (31975 Hebert) at 10:00 AM with an engaging information session on conservation burial—what it is, why it matters, and how it offers a meaningful alternative.
Afterward, we’ll caravan over to Blazing Star Sanctuary (31930 Morrison) for a guided tour of the conservation cemetery grounds.
And because we know the best conversations happen when curiosity leads the way, we’ll have extra time with our good friend and Conservation Cemetery Manager for all your thoughtful, curious, and “I’ve always wondered…” questions.
Come explore your options, expand your perspective, and spend a little more time in good company talking about the one thing we all share. 💀🌿7 asistentes
Downtown BIPOC Death Cafe
Kindred Stories, 2310 Elgin St #2 -Located in the Eldorado Ballroom-, Houston, TX, USThis monthly Death Cafe centers Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in conversation about death, dying, and grief.
Experiences of loss are shaped by culture, history, land, and systems. This gathering intentionally makes space for those realities and the nuances that are not always acknowledged in mixed settings.All are welcome. We ask that participants who do not identify as BIPOC attend with a commitment to listen, reflect, and honor the focus of the space.
This event follows the global Death Cafe model: Deathcafe.com
• No agenda and no presentation
• No intention of leading participants to a conclusion or course of action
• Not therapy, grief counseling, research, or community consultation
• Participant-led discussion onlyDeath Cafe is for people who feel able to engage in open conversation about death. If you are seeking grief counseling or bereavement support, there are other spaces better suited for that care, and we can provide you with those community resources.
These gatherings are supported by the Death Collaborative, a nonprofit dedicated to community conversations about death.

What in the world is a Death Cafe? Simply put, it is a place where people, often strangers, gather to eat treats and discuss death.
Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives'.
The Spring Branch Death Cafe is part of the larger international social franchise movement of Death Cafes. We welcome all, members old and new.
