Branigan Cultural Center building

The Branigan Cultural Center is pleased to announce that it will offer a Death Café series during the month of October.

The Death Cafés are scheduled for every Wednesday in October from 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. – exact dates are October 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30, 2024. The conversations will be guided by MaryKay Brady, a death doula.

Death Cafés are an engaging, public forum for people to gather and discuss their thoughts on mortality, death, and dying in a safe space. Participants are allowed to determine the course of the conversation with input from the Death Café guide. However, please note that Death Cafés are not a bereavement support group or for grief counselling.

The Death Cafés are free and open to the public but are geared for individuals 18 years and older. Reservations are not needed to attend.

The museum is located at 491 N. Main Street and is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. There is no admission fee. The museum is accessible from Roadrunner Transit Route 1 Stop 1.
