We gather over tea, cake, cookies and talk about death. Laughter often accompanies the sharing of beliefs, fears and experiences, with no agenda or proselytizing allowed. 

Jim Van Buskirk, a retired SFPL librarian, has co-facilitated Death Cafes since 2016. He volunteers with Final Exit Network, a national right-to-die organization, and has presented programs on death and dying at various venues.
