It’s not easy to think about your own funeral. Talking about death, dying and funerals raises big questions that we need to face at some point, but it’s hard to talk to family and friends.The Church of England has been helping people think about these questions for centuries.
GraveTalk is a café space, organised by your Parish church, where people can talk about these big questions. The conversation is helped along by GraveTalk conversation cards – 52 questions covering five key areas.
Join us as we gather to talk and share their thoughts about death, dying and funerals.
What happens at a GraveTalk event?
We meet in Clare Parish Church, where everyone will be welcomed by Revd Mark and then invited to sit at tables with three or four others.
The GraveTalk cards will be on the tables, and each group picks a question and uses it to start a conversation. It doesn’t matter if you only use one question, or work through all of them! The purpose is to talk and listen.
Light refreshments are offered throughout the event, which lasts about an hour, or longer if needed.
We will also be joined by representatives for local funeral directors who will be available to answer any questions about the practical aspects around what happens when someone dies.
The event is FREE and open to all.
