Belfast death cafe sparking conversations to help people overcome mortality fears

A "death cafe" in Belfast is now into its fourth year of sparking conversations to help people overcome fears about mortality.

The free monthly events offer people a chance to come together to chat about the topic of death over coffee and cake. The first death cafe in Belfast was set up in 2018 by qualified therapist and funeral celebrant, Rachel Smith.

Funeral Arranger, Lisa Hutchinson, later came on board offering a venue and support for the event, which is held every month at James Brown & Sons Funeral Directors in Dunmurry.
