About the event
A Death Salon is an opportunity to hear from folks whose passion and vocation is centered around service during the transitional time of death and dying and then the group will have time to share and listen to thoughts, experiences, arrangements, fears, and concerns from each other on this inevitable transition. We will break into smaller discussion groups with offered topics and see how the conversations unfold. Laughter...tears...deep moments of realization...curiosity awakened... all responses are welcome and we will be mingling to make sure healthy and respectful discourse is the top priority at all times.What to expect:
- Grab a tasty beverage from Begyle's lineup and mingle while everyone settles in. The first 10 guests to arrive will receive their first draught compliments of our generous co-host, Inclusive Funeral Care!
- Find a seat and briefly hear from a few seasoned experts in the field of deathcare and why we care so much about individuals being better informed about their options and supported around this often challenging topic.
- We are squeaking in at the end of Pride Month, so we'd like to use this opportunity to highlight information and support tools specific to the LGBTQ+ community, as healthcare and deathcare are not always equal for everyone.
- There will be time for Q&A as well as a wrap-up with gratitude for LIFE!
