Acacia - End of Life Services

01/30/2026

I wear many hats, and hosting the Ypsilanti Death Cafe is definitely one of my favorites ❤️

Each gathering is a little different, shaped by the people who show up that day. The conversations move where they need to, and the pauses in between don’t need to be filled. We talk about grief tied to death and dying, disenfranchised grief, end-of-life wishes, caretaking, how we want to live, how we support one another in community, and everything in between.

I say this every meeting (so if you’ve been around, you’ve heard it 🙃), but I’m always in awe of the folks who show up, whether once or regularly, and are willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable with one another. That’s what this group is all about and how we continue to grow together.

If you’re curious about Death Cafe, I encourage you to just come! There’s never any pressure to share. You can participate in whatever way feels right for you and take what you need from the space.

We gather at .herbshop
📍 208 W Michigan Ave
🗓 First Wednesdays, 5–7pm
🗓 Third Saturdays, 11:30–1:30

PS: Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming collab with 👯‍♀️

Feel free to DM me or email me at Hanna@AcaciaEndOfLife.com with any questions about the space 💚

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, the Death Cafe scheduled for January 17th is cancelled.

I’m currently out with the flu and want to make sure we’re keeping everyone safe. Thank you so much for your understanding.

Our next meeting will be on February 4th at 5pm at Bloodroot, I hope to see you all then.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thanks again for your understanding, and take care. 💛

Hope to see you all soon.
