Death Over Dinner
During Dying Matters Awareness Week, you are invited to Death Over Dinner, a unique dinner experience where guests are invited to share their thoughts, fears, and questions in a safe and supportive environment. Death is a topic often avoided but important to discuss. This in-person event will take place in Bayswater, W2. Let's break the taboo and explore this much avoided topic together over nice food and wine. Reserve your spot today!

Death Dinners
Death Over Dinner began in 2013, led by Michael Hebb and Angel Grant. They set out to engage America in this important and costly conversation, with the intention to change these statistics and give more people the opportunity to have their end of life wishes met. We suffer less when our wishes are honored and when we know how to honor the wishes of our loved ones. To date, there have been more than 200,000 Death Over Dinners in 30 countries. In 2018, DOD joined RoundGlass; the partnership is allowing them to expand the project to millions of individuals and dinner tables. DOD was created as a simple set of tools to help families and friends address the basic human fact that we are all, at some point, going to die. DODs are not meant to be a counselling session or a bereavement support group but a discussion group , providing the opportunity to share thoughts on one's own mortality and see death not as an enemy but a part of life.
