Dodds Memorials and Routsong Funeral Home and Cremation Services will be hosting a Cincinnati Death Cafe at Heart in Balance on August 9th at 10am.

Heart in Balance, formerly Northside Church, was created to be a community health center that focuses on improving access to fresh produce by growing it on site, improving health literacy through classes and individual counseling, and improving community health through listening and outreach.

If you are unfamiliar with what a Death Cafe is, then you probably are thinking something morbid! However, a Death Cafe, is a small group of people coming together to discuss various end of life or death related topics. Hosts may not lead, promote, or have an agenda to discuss. The format is truly open, allowing participants to ask questions and have conversations.

Ideally it will provide a space that allows people to become more comfortable with discussing death and the realities of that inevitable event. It is merely a discussion group, not a support group and not a counseling forum. It is open to people of all beliefs, backgrounds, and understandings. All thoughts and ideas are welcome.

To join us at the Cincinnati Death Cafe, register via email events@doddsmemorials.com. Space is limited!
