This event has been cancelled, but will be rescheduled for spring 2026.

Do you read obituaries for fun? Have you ever wondered why people bother with obituaries? Perhaps you just have death on your mind.

Erika Ostrom, certified End-of-Life Specialist and End-of-Life Doula with the DoulaGivers Institute, and founder of Simply Intentional, will walk you through the obituary writing process. Obituary-enthusiast and Death Cafe volunteer Alyssa Roberts will present a curated collection of meaningful, poignant, and hilarious obituaries she has collected.
