Death Cafe' Gwinnett encourages people to talk about death.

Death Cafe Gwinnett, Duluth, GA—Georgia Cremation, 3116 Buford Highway, will host the upcoming Death Café Gwinnett on Saturday, April 30th from 2 to 4 pm in the Community Room/Events Center.

“At Death Cafes, people drink tea, eat cake and discuss death openly and creatively in an effort to increase awareness of death to help people make the most of their lives,” said Jeremy Watkins, service counselor with Georgia Cremation. “No sales pitches. No product demonstrations. Just straight-forward conversation about something that will happen to all of us.”

At the Death Café Gwinnett, participants can bring questions about death and dying. There will be large and small group discussions. Cake and coffee will be served.

The first Death Café was held in London in September 2011. Since then, Death Cafes have been held in a range of places including funky cafes, people's houses, cemeteries, a yurt and the Royal Festival Hall. The first Death Café held in the United States took place in Columbus, Ohio. Events have also taken place throughout Europe, Asia and Australia. This is the third Death Cafe Gwinnett to be held.
