Death Dinner is a recording of a live event hosted by co-founder of Advantages of Age, Journalist, editor, and poet Rose Rouse. Rose Rouse will hold a Q&A session directly after the recording is shown.
Death Dinner is an hour-long documentary created by the Advantages of Age as the first of their OUTage events funded by Arts Council England. We see 12 people dressed as they would like to be buried or burnt, discussing their own relationship with the world of death professionally and personally – Carla Valentine is a mortician and technical curator at Barts Pathology Museum, Caroline Rosie Dent is an end of life doula and Death Café host, Caroline Bobby is a writer and psychotherapist, Dr Douglas Davies is an author and expert in death rituals, Charlie Phillips is a photographer who has documented Afro-Caribbean funerals, Patrick Ardagh-Walter is a soul midwife, Hannah Gosh makes modern mourning jewellery, John Constable wrote The Southwark Mysteries and is a campaigner for Crossbones Graveyard in SE1, Liz Rothschild owns the Westmill Woodland burial ground and is the founder of the Kicking The Bucket Festival in Oxford, Liz Hoggard is a journalist, Rose Rouse and Suzanne Noble are the co-founders of Advantages of Age, one of whose tenets is to open up the dialogue and discussion around death. Which is what we hope to do with this film!

Advantages of Age, are keen to open up this last taboo as well as helping to form a Death Community, supporting the Assisted Dying movement, and also facing the nitty gritty of what we might personally want in terms of death and dying.
