Thank you to WFDD and April Laissle (and all who participated) for the lovely story on our Death Cafe, our Dia de los Mu***os celebration, and what we are trying to accomplish in our community. ❤️ Again, we host our Death Cafe on the third Thursday of every month from 10:30-12:00 PM at The Robert F Miller Center at Hayworth-Miller Funeral Home, 3315 Silas Creek Pkwy., Winston-Salem, NC 27103.

The gatherings at a Winston-Salem funeral home are part of a global movement to make talking about death less taboo.

Don't forget our October Death Cafe is this Thursday, October 16th from 10:30 - 12:00 PM in The Robert F. Miller Center at Hayworth-Miller Funeral Home, 3315 Silas Creek Pkwy., Winston-Salem, NC 27103.

We will be incorporating the vibrant and joyous celebration of Dia de los Mu***os (or Day of the Dead) this month to honor loved ones who have passed. We will be organizing a community "ofrenda" (offering/altar) and encourage attendees to bring items to place upon it such as candles, photographs, flowers (marigolds in particular, but can be paper and silk), personal items of the deceased and sugar skulls/skeleton figurines.

We will also provide coffee/tea/water and traditional Pan de Mu**to (a traditional Mexican sweet bread) as well as some other traditional treats.

Hope to see you there!
