Ars Moriendi – The Art of Dying

November 9, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$13.00

Ars Moriendi is a collaboration by advocates for the dead: Mary Sweeney and Jen Den.

This event will be held inside the chapel at Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery and Arboretum. We will engage in thought-provoking discussions to connect with like-minded individuals who embrace the concept of death positivity. With Ars Moriendi we aim to break the taboo surrounding death and learn to appreciate the cycle of life in all its complexities, while taking an informative approach to alternative end-of-life options and how you might reconsider your demise.

Whether you’re curious about end-of-life planning, interested in alternative funeral practices, or simply want to deepen your understanding of mortality, Ars Moriendi is the place to be. Join us for a day of reflection, education, and community.
