Winston Death Cafe

Death is one of the few experiences every human being shares, yet it’s often the one conversation we avoid the most. At Death Cafe, we believe talking openly about death can help us live more fully, love more intentionally, and connect more honestly with one another.

Whether you’ve experienced loss, work in end-of-life care, are curious about mortality, or simply want a safe space for meaningful conversation - you are welcome here. No agenda, no judgment, no expectation… just real people having real conversations over coffee and community. ☕🖤

Join us next Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM at the Robert F. Miller Center, 3315 Silas Creek Parkway, Winston-Salem, NC 27103 for our May Death Cafe.

Thank you for understanding and we hope to see everyone in May!

The gatherings at a Winston-Salem funeral home are part of a global movement to make talking about death less taboo.
