Would you go to a local Death Cafe? It's a chance to eat cake and talk end-of-life issues
Times Telegram, Utica, NY; by Amy Neff Roth; 8/12/25
Key Points:
- The Clinton Death Cafe, which organizes events all over the area, uses cake and a relaxed atmosphere to get people to talk comfortably about hard topics.
- The cafes are a chance to learn about green burials, health care proxies, what other families have done and any other topic related to death.
- Talking about death before it happens and sharing preferences and vital information relieves the burden on grieving families, attendees of a recent Death Cafe said.
