December Death Café Iowa Meeting
A write up of Death Cafe Iowa
Our most recent Death Café was held December 17th and had 4 people in attendance. We touched on a handful of topics, beginning with alternatives for final disposition. This included having one’s cremated remains turned into a reef ball (a concrete structure that’s used to bury cremated remains in the ocean), having them sent to outer space in a rocket, and various other places and spaces one can use to store and scatter cremated remains. We also touched on the concept of making a preplan and the benefits that come from doing so. We ended the conversation with the importance of talking to children about grief and the idea of magical thinking a child may have when a person dies. Looking forward to next month’s Café!
