I've recently begun preparations to start a monthly Death Cafe in my area. However, it's my understanding that a few years ago someone has already started a Death Cafe. It's been several years since the last cafe was held and the Facebook page seems to be inactive since 2017/2018. I've made attempts to locate the original hosts, but I've been unsuccessful - I just don't want to step on any toes or create animosity, you know?

Is it acceptable for me to start a cafe, or should I make further attempts to contact the original hosts? 

If anyone has any advice or tips regarding this I would be super grateful!

Many thanks,

Anna
