The Movement Making it Easier to Talk about Death

There’s a movement afoot to remove the stigma around end-of-life, in unusual and unorthodox ways. From Death Cafes to #DeathTok to Fake Funerals, the overarching goal of all of these efforts is to destigmatize death, to take away the dread and avoidance. When we accept that we all die and ‘embrace’ the end of life, we can plan a better end AND a better life.
