Online Class

Death Café provides an opportunity for people, often unknown to others in the group, to gather (virtually) and examine matters surrounding life and death in a relaxed, open, safe atmosphere. There is no agenda, no objectives or themes. Death Café is not a bereavement or support group, but rather a forum for open discussion. For more information on Death Cafes, please visit deathcafe.com.

Jody Wolford-Tucker has served as the Executive Director of Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County for over 15 years, while Lori Johnson has served as the Patient Care Manager for over four years. Both are comfortable having conversations around Death and Dying and are experienced in facilitating Death Cafés.
