A place to feel understood

Death and Biscuits
An Animal Companion Death Cafe

Join a circle of compassionate hearts to honor our animals as they move through aging, Illness, hospice and death.

We offer a place to feel heart and acknowledged.

Receive resources and support for:

  • Difficult end-of-life decisions

  • Caretaking and grieving

  • After-death care (burial, cremation)

  • Rituals and memorials to carry the love forward

In community, we transform fear of death into understanding, and sorrow into sacred remembrance.
