What (in the world) is a Death Café?! We are a friendly discussion group with no agenda, no objectives, or themes. Thoughts, feelings, and experiences are all relevant. We are not a grief support or counseling session of any kind.
Many report that participating in Death Cafés reduces their anxiety about death and dying (their own or their loved ones’), which can enhance the way we live in the present. Most people leave feeling connected and uplifted. Our hope is to have a safe place for people to come and make this more of a necessary conversation. Trying to make this topic not ‘taboo’.
Please ** No selling of any kind.

Death Café is an open group meeting that gathers about every 6-8 weeks-ish, to enjoy refreshments and talk about death. Why? because unfortunately, this topic is uncomfortable and a Death Café can change that.
Topics range from personal stories, grief, rituals, aging, books, advice – to humor! — It is also okay to just come and listen. We are not, however, a support group for people who are actively grieving or in end-of-life planning stages.
Think: table-top-talk….topic? >>> death!
Free to attend
We ask attendees are 17 and older PLEASE!
You MUST RSVP. NO WALK-IN’s!

TOPIC:
Florida Death with Dignity
How Florida Death with Dignity started:
Having always believed that there has to be a better way concerning how people die and the lack of openness about death in America, Tony came across the Death with Dignity website. Enrolling in the Dignity 50 Roadmap Series led him to meeting Valerie Lovelace, Statewide Campaigns Director, Death with Dignity National Center (DDNC). With guidance from DDNC, Tony accepted the challenge to organize and lead a grassroots movement to educate Floridians and work towards legislation for medical aid in dying. The group Florida Death with Dignity was founded in November 2020 and is an all-volunteer, independent, non-political, non-sectarian organization.
Tony Ray is a fifth generation Floridian born in Winter Haven surrounded by an extended family whose compassion for each other established a sense of community that guided his entire life.
As a retired Building Contractor who specialized in commercial buildings and custom homes in the Melbourne area since the 1980’s, now he is pursuing social issues he is passionate about.
Married for 26 years, he and his wife enjoy traveling and boating.

Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family’s ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.
“Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don’t let it make you cry / For even if I’m far away, I hold you in my heart / I sing a secret song to you, each night we are apart / Remember me, though I have to travel far / Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar / Know that I’m with you, the only way that I can be / Until you’re in my arms again, remember me…”

What is a Death Café?
We are a group of people, often strangers, we gather to eat sweets, enjoy coffee & tea…… and discuss death. It’s that simple.
A Death Café is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
A Death Café is a scheduled, non-profit get-together to escape the taboo of discussing death & dying.
We are participating in the Death Café movement, a life-affirming international social franchise started 9 years ago by Jon Underwood in London and later popularized by Lizzy Miles in the United States. Underwood developed the Death Café model based on the ideas of the Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz who, together with his anthropologist wife, studied funeral rites in their town and other cultures. When Crettaz’s wife died in 1999, he initiated meetings in local bistros to talk about death.
Death Cafes have spread quickly! As of today, there are 11552 Death Cafes in 73 countries since September 2011.
Death Café has no staff. We are run on a voluntary basis hosted by Diana Sayegh.
So, join us, your local, (Pasco County) WEST PASCO DEATH CAFE!
Free.
NO SELLING!
Ages 17+ please!!!
RSVP REQUIRED. No walk-in’s.
Not on ZOOM.
