Drinks over Death is a FREE community event where all are welcome to talk about death, dying, and end-of-life.
As a society, we're kind of rusty talking about the thing we all have in common (we ALL will die someday).

Often, we don't always know where to go.
Or who is willing to explore topics related to death and dying with us. It's for that reason that the Cleveland Death Society exists: so that we can take strides at practicing, normalizing, and exploring Death together.

Death-Over-Drinks is not a grief session, but an occasion to gather and delve into topics that impact each and every one of us as we endeavor to navigate living and dying. We understand that talking about death can be tender. We encourage you to show up and participate at your comfort level. We'll meet you where you're at.
So...come curious, lean in, and meet others in your community looking to have meaningful conversations on topics that impact our eventual death. Show up solo, bring a friend, your significant other, neighbor or family member. It's a time to hear what others are thinking about and to share perspectives. We'll start with an icebreaker question and see where that conversation takes us!
Our goal is for death workers and the community to come together. To build stronger support systems and resources, one may need them when the time comes.
Honor your past loved ones. Talk about death with like-minded folks. Play a death game or just come for the atmosphere,
Did we mention it's free? Oh, and afterwards. Stick around for B-SIDE KARAOKE!
We're pleased to announce that we have a very special guest speaker for this event. Lesley Patterson of the Monroe Street Cemetery Foundation - Cleveland Ohio. She'lll be speaking about her work with the cemetery. From the cemeteries history, culture and needs. To her love of reenacting and portraying residence of the cemetery. Telling their stories giving them New Life while they are in death. I cannot wait to hear what Leslie has to say and tell us! We'll have a short little Q&A afterwards as well.
