Katheryn Houghton was flipping through the Daily Interlake when she noticed an ad for a group offering tea and cookies, which she’s into, along with frank discussion about death and dying. She and her roommate at the time, Nicky Ouellet, went and met Nancy Reece Jones, who started the Death Cafe in Montana’s Flathead Valley.

Houghton and Ouellet co-report this story about talking to the living about death.
