Choose your Deathstyle
Most funerals aren't designed. They're defaulted.
When someone dies, their family faces over 40 decisions in 48 hours, under grief, under pressure, with no idea what the person actually wanted.
We don't work in that window.
We work in the afterspace after the body is gone, after the crisis, after the family has breathed. Where there is finally room for imagination, beauty, and intention.
Your death is when the narrative of your life takes its final shape. At Cafe Mortel, we believe it deserves to be told with care.

For those who have lost someone whose funeral didn't honour them.. We address your relationship with the loss and help you create a plan for a ceremony or physical tribute to honour them.
Memorial Rehearsal
Founding rate £350
For those who want to shape how their own life will be honoured. We explore your relationship with death, clarify your wishes, and leave the people you love with something certain and bespoke.
A guided experience led by Ruby Cohen Love, founder of Cafe Mortel and thanatologist.
