Whether it's because of fear, or because it seems too sad, most people don't like to speak about death. But what if there was a space where you could speak openly about the realities of it, and you were guaranteed cake?

Having cake is the one rule of the Death Café which was established to allow people to come together and speak about passing away without fear of making people feel uncomfortable or being seen as being morbid.

The Death Café has been running across the world for a number of years now, and sees people getting together to chat about everything from the emotional and physical side of dying to who would delete your browser history. The idea is to take away the reluctance we all have to speak about our own mortality.

Limerick is one of the locations where Death Café's have been set up, and Dermot and Dave met Jennifer Stritch, who is one of the people involved.

She explained how the events run, the type of people who attend (including a couple on a first date!), and why cake is so important.
