Welcome to the Perth Death Café!.. a safe and open space for ordinary people to come together and share what is important about death and dying in the same way we talk about birth and living as part of our existence. It is not a space for bereavement support or grief counselling, nor is it a space to promote a particular agenda, product or viewpoint. In this relatively modern and permissive age,
it’s a wonder that death is still a taboo subject. What are we afraid of? It is said that the cradle of the love of life is the knowledge that it ends. Conversations at the Death Café seek to connect people on the most profound level, not as experts, but as people willing to face their mortality, share their hopes, dreams and fears to give meaning to their lives. Why do we fear death? How does our view of death inform the way we live? Before I die I'm going to…
How do I want to be remembered? If you knew death was coming, would you do anything differently? We plan for the birth of a child so why don't we plan for a death – our own or a loved one? Who would I like to look after me? Where do I want to die?
