LAST CALL: AN END OF LIFE FESTIVAL

St. Louis’ first-ever Death Positive festival is coming soon. The beautiful Bellefontaine Cemetery is hosting, and the dates are set for Saturday and Sunday, October 15 and 16, 2022.

What is death positive? According to Wikipedia…The death-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that encourages people to speak openly about death, dying, and corpses. The movement seeks to eliminate the silence around death-related topics, decrease anxiety surrounding death, and encourage more diversity in end-of-life care options available to the public.

Applications are now being accepted for Presenters, Vendors, and Performers for review. Applicants will be informed of their acceptance/denial to the festival.
