Death’s the only sure thing in life, so why don’t we talk about it? Can funerals be fun? What’s the best body disposal method?

You’re invited to a surprisingly uplifting evening with some of Australia’s most buoyant death and dying experts, Tasmanian Aboriginal knowledge holders, and a few special guests. Come for the bad bagpipe music — stay for a healthy dose of end-of-life wisdom. Wear what you’d like to be buried in. ?

Participants might also like to book a ticket to Death Over Drinks for the chance to chat one-on-one with the speakers.

This session is part of the Beaker Street Main Stage at Hobart City Hall. Your House Band for the evening will be the dangerously well-rehearsed Stevie and the Bunsen Burners. Enter through Market Place, where you’ll find drinks, food, fires, and friendly strangers. Come early, stay late to enjoy all the action.
