Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz initiated the first Cafés Mortels in Switzerland in 2004 and this became the catalyst for the global Death Cafe movement. After reading about Crettaz's cafe, Jon Underwood, a former council worker, decided to hold an event in his living room in Hackney, London, UK, and from there it has become a global phenomenon. There are now more than 4300 cafes in more than 48 countries, and almost half are in the USA. See Celebrating Life in a Death Cafe - The Lancet Neurology

Glenn Harper is an end-of-life caregiver by profession with an abiding interest and curiosity in philosophy, religion and the Great Mystery we all must face. He believes that, since aging and dying are inescapable, we should learn about, and lean into, these areas of inquiry so as to be equipped for the path ahead. The discussions are always interesting, often entertaining and surprisingly energizing and life-affirming!

The venue at the Old Olympia Glass Building is accessible from the street on the ground floor with no stairs. There are no accessible toilets on-site, so we do suggest you use other local locations and facilities where possible.
