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.
Bespoke Memorial Design
Founding rate £350
Who is it for? Those who have lost someone whose funeral didn't honour them the way it deserved, and those who want to shape how their own life will be honoured before that day comes. In both cases, we help you create something certain, bespoke, and imaginative.
A creative direction practice led by Ruby Cohen Love, founder of Cafe Mortel and thanatologist.
