WHAT IS A DEATH CAFE? with Susan Barsky Reid

My wonderful guest today is Susan Barsky Reid, who modelled an enterprise called The Death Café, which she founded in 2011, alongside her wonderful son, Jon Underwood.

The objective of Death Café is to help us all make the most of our finite lives. Death is one of the great social taboos of our time and Death Café gatherings tend to be joyful occasions.

Jon & Susan’s work has brought huge comfort to tens of thousands of people across the world, assisting us all in being courageous and in knowing it’s okay to discuss our feelings and emotions around death and dying, however they may manifest for us.
