Death Café: Chatting about mortality over tea and cake

The Malvern Death Café in Worcestershire is where people come to talk after losing a loved one.

It was set up by 59-year-old Sue Friston in 2013 after feeling she had nowhere else to turn.

Asked how people react when they hear about it, she said: "Some people are very interested and some people say you don't want to be morbid, why'd you want to talk about that?"

The idea originated from Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz and there are more than 3,000 around the world, according to the Death Café website.
