We’re on a mission to bring fresh energy to vital conversations about dying and death, fostering understanding among individuals, loved ones, and the professionals they rely on.

Together, we cultivate clarity, build confidence, and advocate for compassionate, personalized end-of-life experiences.

The Pre-Dead Social Club exists for mortals who want to explore topics related to end-of-life in secular settings.

We provide both in-person and virtual opportunities to talk—or as we like to say die-a-logue, write, read, and create about matters related to our mortality. We do this in small groups, workshops, as part of larger roundtable discussions, and other events.

WARNING / Active participation often results in

Rediscovering your own practical wisdom related to death and dying

Reduced feelings of isolation

Increased empathy for yourself and others

Expanded perspectives

Finally making progress on the practical elements of leaving the planet

A GROWING COMMUNITY

Laura Cleminson, founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club, spoke on the TEDxPortsmouth stage in 2024 to introduce an idea of a social club to talk about our shared mortality for anyone not dead yet—a club worth joining and definitely “an idea worth spreading.”
