Brazoria County Death Cafe — come to talk about death, dying, and life

Talking about death won’t kill you, so come along to a death cafe!

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'.

Brazoria County Death Cafe is part of the larger international social franchise movement of Death Cafes. We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. If you are going to die someday, this is the space for you.

A Death Cafe features a group-directed discussion of death with no preset agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session, and not affiliated with any specific faith or belief system.
