Dying to Talk
There's only one thing in life that's certain: death.\n \nMany people believe that talking about death helps us make more of life.\n \nThousands of Death Caf\xe9s have popped up in countries across the globe, challenging people to open up about the deceased and their own thoughts and fears about dying. Cafes are often over subscribed with organisers having to turn away individuals from sell out events.\n \nJulian Keane visits some of these Death Caf\xe9s to explore if a key part of life should be preparing for death. He explores how people across the world deal with death whilst they're living, and if there's really a need for the conversation.\n \nJulian also meets sociologist Bernard Crettaz. He began the concept of Caf\xe9 Mortel (Death Caf\xe9) at an exhibition called La mort \xe0 vivre (Death for life) in his Geneva museum. Bernard shares more about his work, the theories behind his Death Caf\xe9 concept and how he feels knowing the world is embracing his concept.
