Possible topics for discussion include, but are not limited to: feelings about death; the physiology of death; the philosophy of death; spiritual aspects of death. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or faith, or ethnicity. The facility is wheelchair accessible. Facilitated by Rami Shapiro and Shirley Bowman (see brief bios below).
